THE PEACE PROPOSALS.
PRESIDENT WILSON ON "PEACE
WITHOUT VICTORY.”
WASHINGTON, January` Word, Following is the text of the passage in President Wilson's speech in reference to peace without_victory :---Statesmen of both belligerent groups bave said that it is no part of their purpose to crush |antagonists bab the implication of this assurance may not be equally clear to overybody. The assurance implies, |firstly, that there must be peace without victory." President Wilson then em- phasises this as his own interpretation of the assurance, and then develops his theory that such a peace is indispen-

President Wilson also recalled bis Note to the belligerents, and declared that progress had been made in the direction of a cessation of hostilities. He emphasised the necessity for a manent peace, and contented that to curo this any ides of victory in the present struggle must be ruled out if victory was to moan a peace forced on the loser. The resentment thus engender- ed would be a perpetual menace to the world's security. A contented peace could only be founded on equality of national rights. He instanced the case of Poland, which ought to be united, independent and autonomous. He - phasised the necessity for freedom of the seas, and declared that every great people should be assured of a direct outlet to the great maritime highways. He recognised that this was closely con- nected with the limitation of naval armaments, which was a difficult que tion and must be faced in a spirit of real accommodation,
If peace
was possible, as he had
suggested, nations could with one accord adopt the Monroe doctrine. No nation should seek to extend itself or its policy over any other nation of people, but each-little and great-should be free to develop without hindrance and without fear.
PRESS VIEWS.
The London newspapers receive the speech coldly. While recognising Pre- sident Wilson's honesty, they point out that the principle of peace without victory was not the policy adopted in the Civil and Spanish-American wars. The hope of ending the war without bitterness had been destroyed by the strocities of the "Contral Powers,

A SEARCHING ENQUIRY.
Mr. Addison, the Minister of Muni- tions, speaking at the Mansion House, said that the most searching enquiry was being made into the cause of the explo

Any suggestions to prevent a re- currence would be fearlessly adopted. He emphasised that there was no occa sion for alarm. Apart from the risk of fire, to which most explosiona hitherto were due, the shells were harmless. ---
Ho stated that he required four
thousand additional women munition workers monthly.
