“An evident principle runs through the whole program [the Fourteen Points] that I have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether weak or strong.”
—Woodrow Wilson, Speech, January 8, 1918
