A JUST AND LASTING PEACE.
The essential principles that must underlie peace, as stated by President Wilson, should be constantly kept in mind. They show the greatness and unselfishness and justice of America's war aims. Briefly they are:
(1) The final settlement of this war must be based upon essential justice and each particular case so adjusted as will most likely bring a permanent peace.
(2) Peoples and Provinces are not to be bartered about as if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game.
(3) Every territorial settlement must be made in the interest of and for the benefit of the populations concerned and not by way of compromising claims of rival States.
(4) National aspirations must be accorded all the satisfaction possible, without introducing new or perpetuating old elements of discord.
