Quotation from President Wilson's address to the Senate of the United States on 22nd January, 1917 :— " The equality of nations, upon which peace must be founded if it is to last, must be an equality of rights. The guarantees to be exchanged must neither recognise nor imply any difference between the big nations and the small, between those that are powerful and those that are weak. . . . Mankind is looking now for freedom of life, not for equipoises of power ; and there is a deeper thing involved than even equality of rights among organised nations. No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognise and accept the principle that the Governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property. I take it for granted . . . . the inviolable security of life, of worship, and of industrial and social development should be guaranteed to all the peoples who have lived hitherto under the power of Governments devoted to a faith and a purpose hostile to their own. . . . " The foregoing quotation is issued by the "Irish Nation League," 27 Dawson Street, Dublin.
