THE PEACE TALK

RESOLUTION IN CANADIAN SENATE

HINT TO NEUTRALS

Ottawa, January 26. Senator Pope has moved a resolution in the Dominion Senate that only those nations participating in the war should participate in the peace negotiations. He took the view that the nations which had taken no part in the war were taking a liberty in suggesting a settlement. He thought Canada should express an.opinion as to who was entitled to sit on the peace negotiations. Unless President Wilson's efforts for peace meet with greater success than his efforts in Mexico the world would have to look for a new man witli new methods—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

AMERICA'S SBABe¥ THE STRUGGLE LIBERTY AND SECURITY. Washington, January 26. Senator Elihu Root, in a speech at Washington, slnted: "I am grateful with all my heart to the Allied soldiers who are fighting for the liberty of my children's children. Our liberty and security depend upon the destruction and abandonment of the stated principle of natioiial aggrandisement and immorality." He approved of President Wilson's speech, becauso he interpreted it as implying the finishing of Prussian militarism. If Germany's principles wero victorious. American freedom would surely dio in this feen-cration.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable As3n.
