About this quote
From Woodrow Wilson's address to the Senate on January 22, 1917, known as "A World League for Peace." It comes after his argument that a victor's peace would rest "only as upon quicksand." The next sentence is: "Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit."
