“We are now about to accept the gage of batttle with 
this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, spend the 
whole force of the nation to check and nullify its preten- 
tions and its power. We are glad to fight thus for the ulti- 
mate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples 
the German people included ; for the rights of nations great 
and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose 
their way of life and of obedience. The world must be 
made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon 
the trusted foundations of political liberty. 
“We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no con- 
quest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for our- 
selves, nor material compensation for the sacrifices we 
shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the 
rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those 
rights have been made as secure as the faith and the free- 
dom of the nations can make them.” 
— President Wilson.
