Washington April 25 = Secretary
Bryan's plan for International peace
agreements was submitted to the dip.
lomatic corps, with practically every
ambassador and minister in Washing.
ton present. The diplomats had as.
sembled at the state department.
Later President Wilson made known
his views on the plan at an informal
conference with newspaper men at
the White House.
The president indicated that the de.
tails would be worked out by negotia-
ticn. The general proposal he has in
mind 10 that the contracting nations
should never go to war over any dis
pute before there has been an investi-
cation of the facts involved. The plan
would be not to bind the nations to
abide by any decision of the investi.
CATION committee but merely to effect
. suspension OF Judgment until impair.
tial persons have looked into the cir.
cumstances at issue.
AS originally submitted to the sen.
ate foreign relations committee the
draft OF the plan contained a sentence
bearing upon the suspension of war
like preparations during the period of
investigation, but this was stricken
from the copy distributed formally to
members Of the diplomatic corps. The
presidents explanation OF the omis-
sion was that II was deemed advisable
to eliminate details at this time and
leave such points to be determined by
negotiations with each particular ma.
ton.
The president considers that the
plan OF limiting ornaments Is feasible
only II every nation enters into gen.
eral arrangement. He recognizes that
II two nations agree not to make prep
arations for war, third might take
advantage of the lapse and encroach
upon either. of the inactive nations.
''The statement, presented to the
diplomatic representatives" said Sec.
retary Bryan, lis only intended to set
forth the main proposition, namely.
that the president desires to enter
into an agreement with each nation
for .he investigation of all questions
OF every nature whatever. This agree
ment Is intended to supplement the
arbitration treaties now In existence
and those that may be made here.
after. But whether the proposed
agreement accomplishes as much as
Is hoped for 1t, it is at least step
In the direction of universal peace"
