Question

adapted excerpt from woodrow wilsons fourteen points
in the following excerpt from a speech delivered in 1918, president woodrow wilson introduces a plan for world peace following world war i.
it will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. the day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular governments. . . .
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. the program of the worlds peace, therefore, is our program; and that program, the only possible program, as we see it, is this:
i. open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. . . .
