President Believes Count Czernin Sin
cere But Says Germany's Answer Is
Of Opposite Tone
(Via Wireless to Ketchikan)
Washington, Feb. 12.—President
Wilson today opqnly invited Austria
to further discus-siou of peace with
Uie United States iu a remarkable;
address tu congress which had met
iu joint session.
Wilson laid down llie basis i'oj'
audi negotiations with Austria. Ho
said any nation, which offers con
dec-ending essential principal/? in
volviinj peace, and is qecessargy
candid in applying thjcm, can res.
IK)ud to the proposal of peace "s
expressed by the United States with
less embarrassment than, could Ger
many unless site sends another peace
mes age. !
I'he United States is willing to
be sLown that the settieuients site
has suggested are not best and most
enduring, \i\ *
Count Czenaiu's message from
Austria is enjtered in a friendly
tone . Count Von Heitling's rejily,
of Germany, is very vague and it
is certainly very dil'feitnt in tone
tr&au that or Count Ozumiin, awl
ao^at cntly of opposite purpose.
What we are striving for now is
international order, based on the
broad principles of right ami just
ire; no mere peace of threads a*id
patches. Whatever affects peace
affect? mankind. Peace matters can.
not be discussed separately or in;
corners. >'one of them constitute a
jtr'vate or separate interest from
which the opinion of the world may
he shut out.
