1. Open covenant of peace,. openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. 2. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenant. . 3. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. 4. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national arma
ments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. 5. A free, open minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment
of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty, the inter
est of the peoples concerned must have equal weight witn tne equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.
6. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and
freest co-operation of the other nations of the world in obtaining
for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the in
dependent determination of her own political developments and
national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing ; and more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come, will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligence and unselfish sympathy. Must Free Belgium 7. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the
government of their relations with one another. Without this heal
ing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired. 8. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in
the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly 50 years, should be righted in order that
peace may be once more made secure in the interest of all.
9. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be affected
along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.
10. The peoples of Austria-Hungary whose place among the
nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured should be accord ed the freest opportunity of autonomous development.
11. Roumania, Servia and Montenegro should be evacuated, occupied territory restored ; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one
another determined by friendly council along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantee of the political and economic independence and territorial
integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into. Turks to Hold Nation.
12. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman empire should
be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted
security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations, under international guarantees. 13. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish people, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant. 14. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and of territorial integrity to great and small states alike. "In regard to these essential rectifications of wrong and assertions of right, we feel ourselves to be intimate partners of all the governments and peoples asociated together against the imperialists. We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end. For such arrangement and covenant we are willing to fight and continue to fight until they are achieved but only because we wish the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace such as can be secured only by removing the chief provocations to war, which this program does remove. We have no jealousy of German greatness and there is nothing in this program that impairs it. We grudge her no achievements or distinction of learning or of pacific enterprise such as have made her record very bright and very enviable. We do not wish to injure her or to block in any way her legitimate influence or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, if she is willimr tn
