retary. when he announced that the cor
respondcnce between himself and Roose-
welt would be made public on that
date.
After meeting OF the executive com
mittee tonight an official statement was
given out. in which II was said that
President Taft had been made the guest
OF honor because the committee "hearti-
IS approved his attitude on the PROPOSE
ton OF universal peace, including all the
steps he has so far taken"
Whether the last phrase OF this SEN
tence indicated that tho committee there
by specifically voiced its support OF the
pending arbitration treaties which Col :
onel Roosevelt has objected TO was not
disclosed.
In regard to extending the Invitation
to Colonel Roosevelt. the statement
says:
''The committee al that time fully ap-
pTeCidleQ lDe dllltudc winch MI. l.OOSe-
welt has taken on the pending peace
treaties. Nevertheless, 1t felt pleased
10 extend an invitation, feeling al least
that he IS in accord with the general
sentiment that will prevail on that oc-
casion. 1t only needs to be etatcd that
a gentleman at work in the rooms OF
the committee had, without authority,
previously written 10 Mr. Roosevelt on
the subject and that the same member
failed to transmit the official invita-
ton which later was ordered
II also was said that there was not
the slightest friction among the mem
bers OF the committee, but the state
ment was being given out 10 a number
OF newspaper reporters, Mr.. Boomer ap

BROUGHT
TO BEAR UPON TAFT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2$.--American
pulp and print paper manufacturers are
bringing pressure to bear upon President
the demand OF European governments
for the free admission OF their pulp and
print paper ON terms OF equality with the
Canadian product
The disposition or the president has
been 10 let this matter be determined by
the courts. but as this involves long de-
lay the diplomatic protestants are by no
means satisfied and are adopting meas
urcs TO show their resentment.
Count Won Bernstord. the German em
basssdor, has informed the state depart
mcnt that Germany would not accord 10
American exporters the reduced duties
on tool steel and hard rubber accorded 70
Swedish and Japanese exporters: under
their special treaties, because America
did not admit German wood pulp and
print paper free OF duty,
The ambassador was reminded thal the
German exporters would not suffer by
the delay IL their claim was just. because
they had paid the duties into the Amerl :
can treasury under protest, which save
them the right TO recover in case the
court Of customs appeals should decide
IN their favor. as Is expected.
II was thought at first that this en-
planation was sufficient, but ii now ap-
pea rs the embassadorS s statement Is Yir-
tuslly new protest against the failure
OF the administration TO adjust the mat
ter automatically instead OF iudicialy.
In view of the peculiar conditions un-
der which Canadian pulp and paper got
on the free list, in spite OF the failure Of
tho reciprocity measure. some considera
ton is being given TO the propriety OF
leaving TO congress the adjustment OF
the difficulties that have arisen,
