It Is right that before it comes this government ^should frankly form­ ulate' the jconditions upon- which it would feel"Justified* In asking our peo­ ple to approve its formal and solemn adherence to a league for peace. I am here to attempt to state tlsose condi­ tions. * f " s* ' "The present war must first be end­ ed ;fbut Ve owe it to candor and to a Just regard for the opinion of mankind to say that so far as bur participation In guaranties of future peace is con­ cerned it makes a great deal of differ­ ence in what way and upon what terms it is ended. The treaties and agree­ ments which bring it to an end aust embody terms which will create a peace that is worth guaranteeing and preserving, a peace that will win the approval of mankifld; not merely a peace that will serve the several inter­ ests and Immediate.aims of^ the nations engaged. "We shall have no voice In determin­ ing what those terms shall be, but we shall, I feel sure, have a voice in de­ termining whether they shall be Made lasting or not by the guaranties of a universal covenant and our judgment upon what is fundamental and essen­ tial as a condition precedent to per­ manency should, be spoken now, not afterward when it may be too late. "No covenant of co-operative peace that does not include the peoples of the new world can suffice to keep the future safe against war, and yet there is only one sort of peace that the peo- pies of America could Join in guaran­ teeing. "The elements of that peace must be elements that engage the confidence and satisfy the principles tt the Amer­ ican governments, elements consistent with their political faith and the prac­ tical convictions Which the peoples °f America have once for all embraced and undertaken to defend. Sea Paths Must Be Free. "And the paths of the sea must alike in law and In fact, be free. The free­ dom of the seas is the sine qua non of peace, equality and co-operation. No doubt a somewhat radical reconsidera­ tion of many of the rules of interna­ tional practice hitherto sought to b» es­ tablished may be necessary in order to make the seas indeed free*5 and com­ mon in practically all circumstances for the use of mankind, but the mo­ tive for such changes is convincing and compelling. There can be no trust or intimacy between the peoples of the world without them. The free, con­ stant, unthreatened intercourse of na­ tions Is an essential part of the proc­ ess of peace and of development. It need not be difficult to define or to se­ cure the freedom of the seas. If the governments of the world sincerely de­ sire to come to an agreement concern­ ing it. It is a problem closely connected, with the limitation of naval arma­ ments and the co-operation of the na­ vies of the world in keeping the seas at once free and safe. And the ques­ tion of limiting naval armaments opens the wider and perhaps more difficult question of the limitation of armies and of all progress of military prepara­ tion. Questions Must,Be Faced. "Difficult and delicate as these ques­ tions are, they must be faced with the utmost candor and decided in a spirit of real accommodation If; peace is to come with healing in Its wings and come to stay. Peace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice. There can be no sense of safety und equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are hence­ forth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained. The states­ men 4>f the world must plan for peace and nations must adjust and accommo­ date their policy to It as they have planned for war and made ready for pitiless contest and rivalry. The ques­ tion of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and in­ tensely practical question connected \Mith the futjire fortoner of nations and of mankind. "I have spoken upon these great mat­ ters without reserve and with the ut­ most expllcitness because It. ha* seemed to me to be necessary If the world's yearning desire for peace was anywhere to find free voice and utter­ ance. Perhaps I am the only person In high authority among all the peo­ ples of the world who Is at liberty to speak and hold nothing back. I am speaking as an individual, and yet I am speaking also, of course, as the re­ sponsible head oi a great government, ! and I feel confident that F have scld what the people of the United States would wish me to say. May 1 not add that I hope and believe that I am In effect speaking for liberals and friends of humanity in every nation and of every program of liberty? I would fain believe that I am speaking for the silent mass of mankind every­ where, who have as yet had no place or opportunity to speak their real hearts out concerning the death and ruin they see to have come already upon the persons and the homes they 'hpld most dear."
