' There I no question but that thoao

America' President' In Second Speech
of Eaecutiv Before Upper Houee
Telle Hew Lastjng World Peace May
c Assured yVould Have World
Force Too Large for Any Power or
Alliance to Withstand.
WASHINGTON., I). C. Jan. 22.
President Woodrow Wllnon addrced
the senate today and outlined a world
peace program wtiicti, be believe,
would keep UMwdyld safe from future
aggreaaion. He,
1 "
red that the only
laatlng peace Is
ibaaed upon "equal-
Ity and cotumo
rtlclpation in the
common
President Wilson proposed to add
the authority and power of America to
the authority of other nations to guar
antee peace and JuWicc throughout the
world. He laid dew a the following
bnni for peace:
Peace founded on equality of right.
United, independent and autonomous
plan of organisation.
Freedom of nil nation for the full
development of their reource.
' Direct outlet to all nations to the
grent highway of the sea, and free
dom of thn sea to nil nation.
Limitation of naval and military
armament.
Prealdent Wilson proposed that all
nation adopt the Monroe doctrine as a
world doctrine, and avoid any entang
ling alliance which might drive them
Into competition for power.
He said aurunces from powers
now belligerent imply that peace can
not come without victory, and that lc
tory will be the victor's terms imposed
upon the vanquished,
j "It I absolutely necessary Unit a
force be created a a guarantor of the
permanency of settlement so much
I greater than the force of any tuition
I now engaged In war, or any alliance
hitherto formed or projected, thnt no
nation or probable combination of na
tions could withstand It," said Presi
dent Wilson.
"A settlement to guarantee pence
'cannot be Ioiik postponed, nnd Amer
ica should foi tnulate the conditions
upon which to ask It people to ap
prove an ndheient league for peace. '
Alfred Noyes, the great KnglUh poet,
who has returned to the United States,
can see no end for the war.
"I believe peace la very far away,"
aald be wben be landed. "There scorns
to ba no end to our res ovlrces. Prepar
ations have been made to carry on the
war for a long time to come. What I
aaw on the Sommo front three months
ago looked to me that the war uitsut
