proves cf h s return, as the former
emperor is an unwelcome guest and
his presence in Holland is an increas
ing problem to the government of

proclamation regarding the Peace

This, proclamation is in substance
as foJkrws-. mat rr me Tresrr'as
«r ratru-a »ai vrxrrct- wrsOT; in a
fuifand sincere execution of its
terms, it ■will furnish a starter for a
new order of world affairs.
The treaty is severe in its duties
and penalties it imposes upon Ger
many. but it is severe only because
the great wrongs done by Germany
arc to be righted and repaired It im
poses nothing that Germany can not
do and she can regain her rightful
standing in the world by the prompt
and honorable fulfillment of its
terms. Pres dent Wilson considers
it more than just a treaty with Ger
many, as it liberates a gTeat people
who have never before been able to
find their way tc liberty. The treaty
ends once for all an old and intoler
able order under which a small group
of selfish men could use the people
of great empires to serve their own
ambitions for power and dom.n.on.
