President Wilson to the Emperor of Japan
Your Majesty’s message of felicitation60 is received with the greatest gratification. It has been a privilege to cooperate with the very able representatives of Japan in developing the terms of a peace which inevitably involved the interests of the whole world. I believe, with Your Majesty, that the results achieved forecast a new era in the world’s history because they give promise of a peace in which justice will not be left to chance or exposed to the peril of selfish initiative on [Page 606] the part of any single power but will be safeguarded by a concert of action upon which the weak and strong alike may confidently rely.
May I not extend my best wishes for the security and happiness of your people?
