in its relation TO the conference which
took place at the White House Wednes-
day evening between the president and
some members of the cabinet and the
California congressional delegation. He
does, however, deny the authenticity
of any OF the published interviews at
tributed 10 him as to the linminence of
war, the state of the treaty negotiations
