tMy Fellow-Countrymen:
lThe treaty- ef peace has been sign
ed. If it is ratified and acted upon
ijs .full and sincere execution of its
tgrjns it will'fumish the charter for a
new order of affairs in the world.' It
is" 'severe treaty in the duties and
penalties it imposes upon Germany
bUt Jt.is severe only because great
vfnpngs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it imposes
nothing that Germany cannot do; and
she can regain her rightful standing
in the worid by the prompt and honor
able fulfillment of its terms.
'i"And it is much more than a treaty
of ..peace with Germany. It liberates
great peoples who have never before
