BRYAN SUBMITS
PLANS FOR PEACE
His Outline of international
Agreement Develops Wide Diff
ference of Opinion.

Washington, April 23.--Secretary
Bryan's preliminary outline OF his pro-
posed international agreement for
peace, which he laid before the senate
Foreign Relations Committee to-day,
developed wide differences OF opinion
Nevertheless. il was understood that
with tho Endorsement OF President
Wilson, the Secretary OF state Will
soon undertake to open negotiations
with leading powers, for such treaties
as his proposal contemplates. AT the
end OF a two-hour conference to-day
with tho Senator'S. Secretary Bryan
left the Capitol saying he expected
that the committee would favornbly
consider an elaboration of his plan
Developments. however, indicated that
some OF the committee, Democrats ana
Republicans, were opposed to the idea
OF the United States binding itself
by international agreement not 70 pre-
pare for war for specified time. while
dispute was in progress, which is
ono feature of Mr.. Bryans plan. The
Secretary said he would confer with
President Wilson, and later make
public statement
Briefly Secretary Bryan's plan. as
he outlined IT, is that the United
States should make treaties under
which disputes, even those involving
national honor Or vital interests.
"'''' p' ShphhitNSO an
tribunal for inquiry, and that tho dis
putting countries should agree to take
no steps whatever toward prepara-
ton for war within q specified time,
siS months OF a year.
The extent TO which other nation 8
may have been sounded" on the propo-
sition was not fully disclosed to the
oomnittee. Secretary Bryan intimated.
however. that one or two foreign pow
ers viewed The plan with favor.
The details OF Secretary Bryan's
plans were not passed on. and mem
bers OF the committee indicated that
tho Senate would reserve it's full au-
thority TO pass on every feature of
the international agreements IL any
were perfected by the Wilson admins
ira: ion
The basic Idea Of proposed system
OF treaties, as Secretary Bryan out
lined 1t to the committee to-day. is
that all international disputes he first
submitted 10 committee OF inquiry.
and that the report of the commission
be made public before the countries
would be at liberty to proceed to war.
