Says. t
WA8HINOTON, D. C. June 7-Pres-Ident
Wilson, In a communication to
the new government of Russia, haa
made plain the war alms of the United
States and Its position on "no annexa
tlons, no Indemnities."
"No territory must change bands ex
cept for the purpose of securing tbosn
who inhabit It a fair chance of life and
liberty,' says the communication.
"No indemnities must be insisted on
except those that constitute payment
for manifest wrong done.
"No readjustment of power must be
made, except such as will tend to se
cure the future peace of the world and
the future welfare and happiness of
Ita people."
In unmlstakeable terms. President
Wilson declares against Germany's pro
posal to restore the "status quo" before
the war.
"It was the status quo ante out of
which this Iniquitous war Issued forth,"
he says, "the power of the Imperial
German government within the em

"That status must be altered in such
fashion as to prevent any such hideous
thing from ever happening again."
