RE-STATEMENT ' “ OF WAR AIMS (Continued from First Page). The president spoke as follows: "tyjcntlemen of the Congress: "Once more, as repeated before, the spokesmen of the Central Empires have indicated their desire. to discuss mt» objects of the war and thc possi- ble basis of a. general peace. i’arloys have been in progress at Brest-Lit ovsk between lussinn representa- tives and relZl'PHPntuil'vvs of the Central i’owcrsf to which the attention of all the lirllt’get‘cnts has been invit- red for the purpose of ascertaining whether it may be possible to extend these PitI'IPY"! into a general con/cr- rnca- with regard to terms of peace and settlement. The Russian repre- sentatives presented not only a per fectly definite statement of the prin- ciples upon which they would be. will- iut: to'conclude peace, but also an equally definite program of the con- crete application of those principles. 'lhc representatives of the Central Powers, on their part. presented an outline of settlement, which. if much less definite, seemed susceptible of ”ht'l'lll interpretation until their spe- cific procram of practical-terms was added. Thfl‘: program proposed no concessions at all, either to schrellln- tv of Russia or to the preferences of lhv population with whose fortunes it dealt. butrmeant, in a word,‘t.hat the Central Empires were, to keep every 1 their armed forces had occupietlr-cvery province. every city. every point of vantage—us a per- manent addition to their territoriei and their power. it let‘s reasonable conjecture that the general principles of settlement which they at first sug- gested originated with the more lib- cral statesmen of Germany and Aus- tria, the men who hnvo begun to feel the force of their own p’eoplcs' thought and purpose. while the concrete. terms of actual settlement came from lllt‘ military leaders thought but to keep what they have got. The negotiations have been brok- on off. The Russian representatives were sincere and in earnest. They cannot entertain such proposals of conquest and domination.’ "The whole incident. is full of sit;- nificance. it is also full of pcrplexlty. With whom are/the Russian represen- tatives dealing? For whom are the representatives of the Central Eur pires speaking? Are they speaking for the majority of their respective parlia~ meats. or for tho minoritv parties. that military and imperialistic minor- ity which has so for dominated thoir whole policy and controlled the af« the Balkan come their associates in this war? The Russian representatives have in- sisted, very justly, very wisely and in the true spirit of modern democra- cy that the conferences they have been holding with the Teutonic 'and Turkish statcamcn should be held within open, not dost-d doors, and all the world has bt-t-n audience, r... was desired. To whom have we bent list- ening tltcn? To those who speak the spirit and lnitnllltm of the rcsdlutions of the German lteichstag of the ninth of July last, the spirit and intention of the Liberal loaders and punit'ti Ol' (icrmuny,,or to those who resist and defy that spirit and intention and in- sist upon conquest and subjugation? Or are We listening in fact, to both, unreconcilcd and in open and hopeless contradiction? These are very seri- ous pregnant questions. Upon the an' swt-r to thcm depends the peace of the world.

We did not wait for it. infirm, but again and again we have laid our role incur; and purpose below the world not in general terms only, but cach time with sufficient definition to make it clear what sort of definitive term: of settle- ment must necessarily spring out of tlmtu. Within the last week. Ir. Lloyd George has spoken with admir- able candor and in admirable spirit for the people and government of ,Great Britain. There is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the Central Powers. no uncertainty ‘1 principle, no vagueness of detail. The only secrecy of counsel. the only look of fearless fronknels, the only failure to make definite statement of the ob- jects of the war, lies with German! and her allies. The issues of life and death hang upon these definitions. 1 “No statesmen who has the least conception of his responsibility ought for a moment to permit himself to core tlnue this tragicsl and sppelling~.ont- pouring of blood ind treasure unless he is sure beyond a peradvonture that the obiccts of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life of so‘ cicty and that the people for whom he speaks think them right and impera- tive as he does. ‘ “There is. moreover. a voice calling for these definitions of principle and of purpose Which is ,it seems to me. more thrilling and more compellinl than many of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. it is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrstu and all but helpless, it would ueem. be fore the grim power of Germany. which has hitherto knows no relent- ing and no pity: Their power. ap— parently is shattered. And yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield either in principle or in much. Their concepton of what is rikht. of what t' is humane “memorable for them to accept. has been stated wth a frankness. a lameness of view, a gen- erosity of spirit and a universal human sympathy which must chal- lenge the admiration of every friend of mankind: and they have refused to compound their ideals or desert othern‘ that they themselves may be safe. They call to us to say what it is that we. desire. in what, if in anything our purpose and 'our spirit differ from theirs, and i believe that the people of the United States would Wish me to respond with utter. simplicity: and frankness. . Whetherc their present leaders believe _ it or. not. it is our heartfelt desire and'hdpw that some way may be opened whereby wc‘may be privileged to assist the people or Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty andordered peace. . "it will be our wish and purpose that the. processes of peace. when they are begun. shall be absolutely open. and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret of understanding of any kind. The day of conquest and , aggrnndlscment is gone by; so is also the day of secret. covenants entered into in thc,intcrest of particular gov. crnmcntu and likely.” some unlookcd. for moment to upset the peace of the world. it is this happy fact. now clear to the. view of every public man whose thoughts do not still linger in an age I that is dead and gone, which makes it possible for every nation whose pur- posees are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or at any other time the objects it has in view. ‘ ~ " "We entered this war because viola tions of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of ottr own people impossible ulr less they wage corrected and the world secured once for all against the recurrence. "What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar to our- selves. it is that the world be made lit and “safe. to live in: and particu- larly that it be made safe. for every peace-loving nation which. like our own. wisltcs to live its own life, deter- mine its own iltetituton‘s, ,be assured of justice. and fair dealing by the other peoples of ”it" world.“ agnimtforcc and selfish aggression. All the. peo- ples of the world are in effect partnnrs in this interest and for our own part we sec very clearly that unless justice, be done to others, it will not be done to us. The program of the world's peace, therefore. is out-“program, and that program. the only possible pro-l grant, as we are it, is this: ; “1. Open convenants of peace, our, only arrived of, after which there. shall be no private international unv‘ derstsndlnzzs of anv kind. “2.
