4 MAR FEATURE
Of PEACE PLAN
Secretary Bryan Submits His
Third Proposal.
PROVISIONS FOR EMERGENCY


Washington. A proposal to main
tain the status quo as TO military and
naval preparations among disputants
during the period OF investigation Of
international differences constitutes
the third and final proposal In Secre-
tary Bryan's peace plan.
In making that portion of the pro-
posal public Secretary Bryan said that
the obligation to maintain the status
quo would not be obligatory in the
event Of danger to either Of the two
contracting parties from third party
The proposal which he submitted to
the 20 nations which have accepted
his plan in principle as well as to the
other IS nations not yet heard from, is
as follows:
This Government is prepared to
consider the question of maintaining
the status quo as to military and naval
preparations during the period OF I'M
vestigation, If the contracting nation
desires to include this. and this Gov
eminent suggests tentatively that the
parties agree that there shall be no
change In the military and naval pro-
gram during the period of inyestiga-
ton unless danger to one of the con-
tracing parties from third party
c0mpels change in said program, in
which case the party feeling itself
menaced by third power shall con-
fidentially communicate the matter In
writing to the other contracting party
and It shall thereupon be released
from the obligation not to change its
military or naval program, and this
release will at the same time operate
as release of the other contracting
parties. This protects each party
ON the other il ordinary cases and
yet porvides freedom of action in
emergencies
The proposals previously announced
provide for international commits
sion of five members, one from each
Of the contracting countries, to be
chosen by the government, one to be
chosen by each Of the contracting
countries from some other country and
the fifth to be agreed upon by the two
contracting governments One year is
suggested as proper time for the in
svestigation Of the subject under dis
pute.
All of these suggestions said Sec
rotary Bryan. discussing his plan, eare
presented for consideration. and not
with the intention Of imposing any
Hxed conditions. The principle Of in
uestigation being accepted, the details
are matters for conference and con-
sideration.
The 20 nations which have accepted
the principle Of the peace proposal. in
the order named, are
Italy. Great Britain, France, Brazil,
Sweden, Norway. Peru Russia.
Austria Hungary, Netherlands, Japan,
Germany, Bolivia, Argentina. China,
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Spain,
Portugal and Belgium
The peace plan as originally enunei-
ated by President Wilson was as fol-
lows
The parties hereto agree that all
questions OF whatever character and
nature in dispute between them shall,
when diplomatic efforts fall, be sub
mftted for investigation and report to
an international commission (the COM
position TO be agreed upon), and the
contracting parties agree not to de-
clare war or begin hostilities until
such investigation is made and report
submitted"

told of the various insects and their
control; another gave instruction on
proper methods of canning fruits and
vegetables; another how to improve
fruit budding and grating; another
told the story of what the students of
the A. and NJ. do in the shops, in the
