A g u st 27, 1917. ’To His Holin-ess Benedictus X V , Pope: In acknow ledgm ent of the com m u n ication of your H o liness the b-elligerent peoples, dated August 1, 1917, the 'President o£ the U n ited S tates requests m e to transm it the following reply: (E>very h e a rt that has not been blinded and hardened by this terribl/j w a r m u s t he touched by this moving appeal of his Holiness the Pope, m u st feel th e dignit.v and force of the h u m ane and generous m o tives which prom p ted it, and m u s t fervently wish th a t we m ight take th e path of peace he so persuasively points out. But it uould be fol'ly to take i t if it does not in fact lead to the goal he proposes. Our response m u st he based upon the stern faots and upon nothing else. ri is n o t a m ere cessation of arm s he de sires; it is a stable and enduring peace. This agony m u st not be gone through with again, and it m u st be a m a tter of very sober judgm ent w h a t will insure ns against it. 'His iHoliness, in substance, proposes th a t we retu r n to the status quo ante beilum , and t h a t then th e re be a oral condonation, disarm a m e n t au( concert of nations based upon an ac ceptance of the principle of arh ’t r a - tion; th a t by sim ilar co n c e rt freedom of the seas be established, and th a t the territorial claim s of France and Italy, the perplexing problem s of the ■Balkan S tates and the restitution of Poland be left to such conciliatory ad justm e n ts as m ay be possible in the new tem p e r of such a peace, due re gard being paid' to th e aspirations of the peoples whose political fortunes and affiliations will be involved. It is m a n ifest t ^ t no p a r t of this program m e can be successfully car ried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante furnishes a firm and satisfactory basis fo? it. The object of this w a r is to deliver the free peoples of the world from th e m enace and the actual p-ower of a vast m ilitary establishm e n t controlled by an irresponsible governm e n t vhich, having secretly planned to dom inate the world, proceeded to carry the plan out w ithout regard either to the sacred obligations of trea ty or the long established practices and long cherished principles of international action and honor; w h ich chose its own tim e for th e w a r; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped a t no b a r rier eith e r of law or of m ercy; sw e p t a whole continent v l t h in the tide of blood—not the blood of sol diers only but the blood of innocent women and; c h ildren; also of the h e lp less poor; and no-w stands balked but not defeated, th e enem y of four-fifths of the world. This po-wer is not the German peo ple. It is the ruthless m a s ter of the German people. It is no busiii^-ss of ours how ■‘he great people cam e under its control or subm itted w ith tem p o rary zest to the dom ination of its purpose, but i t is our hnsiness to see to i t th a t th e h i s tory of the rest of th© world Is no longer left to its handling. To deal w ith such a pov»er hy way of peace upon th e plan proposed by his H o liness the Pope would, so far as w© can see, involve a recuperation of- its strength and a renew a l of its poli cy; would m a k e it necessary to cre ate g. perm a n e n t hostile combination of nations against the Germ an people, who are its instrum e n ts , and would re s u lt in abandoning the new horn is th e test w h ich m u s t he applied. ■Aussia to the intrigue, the m anifold subtle interference and the certain counter revolution w h ich wouJd he a t tem p ted by all the m align influences ,to v h ich th e G e rm an Governm ent has of late accustom ed th e world. Can Peace be based upon a restitution of its pow e r or upon any word of honor it could pledge in a trea ty of seflle- m ent and accom m o d ation? R esponsible statesm e n m u s t now everyw h e re see, if they never sa'w b e fore, th a t no peace can re s t securely upon political or econom ic restrictions m e a n t to benefit som e nations and cripple o r em’barrass others, upop vindictive action of any sort, o r any kin-d of revenge or d-elibera-te injury. The A m erican people have suffered intolerable wrongs a t the hands of the Im p e rial G e rm an Governm ent, but they desire no reprisal upon the Ger m an peoide, who have them s e lves suf fered all things in this war, -which they did not choose. T h e y believe th a t leace should rest upon the rights of peoples, n o t the rights of govem - eoples great or h i—t^efr equal •right to freedom and security and self-governm e n t and to participation tion upon fair terms- in the economic ciyportunities of the world—^the G e r m an people, of course, included, they will accept equality and not seek dom ination. T h e test, therefore, of every plan of peace is this; Is it based upon th e faith of all the peoples involded or m e rely -upon the word of an am b itious and intriguing governm ent, on the one hand, and of a group of f r e e peoples on the oth e r? This is a test which goes t o th e root of the m a tter, and it T h e purposes of the U n ited S tates in this w a r are known to the whole world—to every people to whom the tru th 'has been perm itted to come. They do not need to be stated again. W e s e e k no m a terial advantage of any kind. W e believe -that th e Intolerable wrongs done in^this w a r by the fu r i ous and. brutal power of the Im p erial G e rm an G o v ernm ent ought to he re paired, b u t not at the ex-pense of the sovereignty of any people—rath e r vindication of the sovereignty both of those th a t are weak and those that are strong. Punitive dam ages, the dism e m b erm e n t of em p ires, th e estab lishm e n t of selfish and exclusive econ omic leagues, we deem inexpedient and in the end w o rse than futile, no proper basis for peace of any kind, lea s t of all for an enduring peace. T h a t m u s t be based upon justice and fairness and the common rights of m ankind. W e cannot take the word of the present rulers of G erm any as a g u a r antee of anything th a t is to endure, unless explicitly supported hy such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of th e G e rm an people th e m selves a s the other peoples of the world would he justified In accepting. W ithout such guarantees treaties qf settlem e n t, agreem e n ts for disarm a m ent, covenants to set rp arbitration in the place of force, territo r ial a d justm e n ts , reconstitutions of small nations, if m ade with the Germ an Governm ent, no man, no nation could now depend on. W e m u st aw ait some new evidence of the purposes of the great peoples of th e ■Central Powers. God grant, it m ay he given soon and in a w ay to restore the confidence of ILL SUPPRESS STRET TALERS Chief of Police McCabe was today notified hy th e Board of Police Com m issioners th a t th e departm e n t is not to issue any perm its for street m eetings until after th e close of the war. The action of th e com m ission ers is th e resu lt of treasonable u t terances m ade by com e r orators here during the past few m o n ths. The clim ax was reached locally last week w h en P a t r i c k Quinlan, an ex-convict, sp e n t two evenings on the corner i n alleged S'ocialist propa ganda, but liberally interspersed with ridicule and abuse of England, O ther speakers under Socfalist auspices have been even m o re outspoken against this -war, and the participa tion of the United 'States in it, than was Quinlan. O h tarj'n g perm its for a street m e e ting was a very inform al affair hitherto. The chief of police was simply notified of the intenffon -to hold a meeting, and without further ado the m e e ting was held. Generally one or two officers w e re present part of the tim e, but as the speaker was supposed to have a “perm it,” he has not so fa r been interfered with.
