Passage 1
adapted excerpt from Woodrow Wilson's 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 world's peace, therefore, is our
program; and that program, the only possible program, as we see it, is this:
1. 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....
Passage 2
excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Speech
On January 6, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to Congress about the potential effect that World War II
might have on the United States and its policies. His address has since become popularly known as the Four
Freedoms Speech.
Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the
dignity of all our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a
decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. And the justice of morality must and will
win in the end. Our national policy is this:
First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to
all-inclusive national defense.
Second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to
full support of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war
away from our Hemisphere. By this support, we express our determination that the democratic cause shall
prevail; and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation.
Third, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to the
proposition that principles of morality and considerations for our own security will never permit us to acquiesce
in a peace dictated by aggressors and sponsored by appeasers. We know that enduring peace cannot be
bought at the cost of other people's freedom....
