appointment as a member OF the peace
commission. The appointment Of this

valuable in the adjustment Of the finan-
cial problems likely to arise during the

that the interests OF his state in the
senate and his desire to continue his

shaping the legislation in that body and
other duties would preclude his taking
up the arduous duties at Paris that
