WILL
DRAW WUPPEACEPLAN
FoRD'S SECRETARY SAYS SOME
OF THE BELLlGERENTS ARE
NOW READY FOR PEACE.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 29.-(Via Lon
don, Dec. 30, 2:22 a. m.)--It has been
definitely decided by members Of the
Ford expedition that as soon as possi-
BILE tentative peace plans will be
drawn up and submitted to the war
ring nations. Men versed in interna-
tional law will be employed for guild
ance on technical points.
Should the first effort of the peace
mission be rejected or ignored by the
nations, the plans will be modified
and repeatedly offered until persist
ence attracts attention.
In announcing the plan, Louis Loch.
ner, secretary of the expedition, said:
"Three reasons actuate the members
in appealing directly to the belliger-
ents. These are:
"First-Confidentia information has
been obtained by us that some Of the
belligerents are ready for peace, al
though officially unwilling to admit,
nor can state at this time which ma
tions | have reference to.
"Second-Certain neutral nations
are most anxious for joint action. %
"Third-Such joint action would be
| welcomed by belligerents OF both
sides.
1--WE confess that the members OF
the expedition are not competent to
draw up peace proposal because Of
inexperience. We represent merely
the peace-loving civilians Of the world.
Therefore, it has been decided to en-
ploy, regardless of expense, the most
capable experts in international law
to draw up tentative peace proposals.
on lines most likely to be agreeable
to all concerned. sr
"Mr Ford is thoroughly informed of
this purpose and agrees. It will b
some weeks before active steps are
taken, but it will be necessary first
that we reach The Hague and decide
upon a small number of delegates
from each neutral nation. We shall
arrive at Copenhagen on Friday and
will be Joined there by the Norwegian,
Swedish and Danish delegates. A
week later we will arrive at The
Hague and there hope to be joined
promptly by the Dutch, Spanish and
Swiss delegates. After the delegates
from each country have been selected
permanent board will be formed, the
experts will be called In and the work
will begin"
Edward Wavrinsky, liberal members
of the senate, addressing the expedi-
ton, said the peace movement was
most welcome in Europe. He urged
the members to continue their efforts.
