In that event the attitude of British

summarized simply. They will demand
immediate settlement in full Of every
balance due them: whereas. II assured
that America understands their point
OF view. that peace would be an alb
surdity ut the present time no such
drastic and disturbing settlements would
be demanded.
II is true that comparatively few

Interference by the United States
originate in the Government. but that
they are reflections OF the extraordinary
publicity campaign carried on by Ger

took the civil service examination
about four years ago and have been
