President Wilson's final message to Congress was read by the clerk, the President yielding to' his physician's plea not to appear personally. President Wilson said that there were two ways in which the United States could plead in establishing the doctrine of right makes might on the world, firstly by offering the example within her own borders of the will power of democracy to make and enforce laws unquestionably, juet and equal in theifr administration, and "secondly, by standing for right and justice "towards Individual nations.
