FROM THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
“ Let there be no misunderstanding.
Our present and im m ediate task is to
win the war, and nothing shall tu rn us
aside from it until it is accomplished.
Every power and resource we possess,
w hether of men, of money, or of m a
terial, is being devoted and will continue
to be devoted to th a t purpose until it is
achieved.
“ We shall regard the war as won
only when the G erm an people say to
us, through properly accredited re p re
sentatives, t h a t they are ready to agree
to a settlem ent based upon justice and
th e reparations of the w rong 9 their
rulers have done.
“ When this in to le r a b le Thing, this
G erm an power, is, indeed, defeated and
th e tim e come th a t we can discuss
peace—when th e G erm an people have
spokesmen whose words we can believe
and when these spokesmen are ready in
the nam e ot their people to accept tbe
common judgm ent of the nations as to
w h a t shall henceforth be tb e bases of
law and the covenant for tbe life of the
world—we shall be willing and glad to
pay tb e full price for peace and pay it
ungrudgingly.
We know w hat th a t
price will be. I t will be full, im partial
justice. Justice done a t every point
and to every nation tbal the final settle
m ent m ust affect our enemies as well as
our friends.”
