The following text is adapted from Woodrow Wilson's January 1918 "Fourteen Points" speech to the U.S. Congress. World War I has not yet ended, but President Wilson is already looking ahead to its end and, beyond the scope of this text, presents fourteen points of action. We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing [just for]ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, [and] be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
