An excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s Document J An excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s address to Congress on April 2, 1917 . . . Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. The present German submarine warfare against commerce is warfare against mankind . . . we are glad . . . to fight . . . for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples . . . for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life . . . The world must be made safe for democracy. . . We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no domination . . . It is fearful to lead this great peaceful nation into war . . . But right is more precious than peace.
