Speech is to Stand.R ady

WASHINGTON, April 2

III WASHINGTON, April 2S.---Con-
ment on President Wilson'S neutrali-
ty speech before the Associated Press
in New York Tuesday published in
Europe and being cabled here is be-
ing noted with interest by the presi-
dents closest friends and advisers
who say he expected to hear conflict
ing opinion. President Wilson's
principal idea in the speech. they
said today. was to- show that the
United States stands ready to help
either side or both to recover after
the war as we'll as during peace nego-
tiations and that the president be-
3lleves the United States will have
frequent opportunities to show it is
the real friend OF all the belligerents.
Any Interpretation that the president
has given up hope that the United
States vii make peace is declared BY
his friends to be entirely without
