Appendix K 



The "monarchial order" established in Germany by the 

 hard but firm hand of Bismarck has been perverted to trivial 

 and contemptible ends by the present rulers. Popular govern- 

 ment of some sort must rise in Germany before she can take 

 any place in the sisterhood of nations. 



The conditions under which Europe may have peace have 

 been clearly stated by President Wilson. To this one may add 

 that he means exactly what he says, and frank acceptance 

 would bring peace tomorrow. But this result must be no 

 matter of give and take, conquests balanced against conquests. 

 It must be established in the general interest of human welfare. 

 And in this matter the United States has no selfish purposes, 

 nor will it support such on the part of others.
