the most important OF which Is that

ever. that those close TO the Nhte

message has been made stronger
and more terse. The reasons given
for the delay are thrcc.'old.
First. the president wished 20 read
the completed draft 10 his cabinet

Second. the desire OF Secretary
Bryan to suggest some modification
of the very decisive terms employed
by the president.
Third. the mission Of Dr Meyer
