United States as the most powerful
neutral. TO persistently offer 10 medi-
ate between the nations. No matter
how many times the offer is declined.
this country should renew it until il
is finally accepted, he said.
Arbitration OF the differences be-
tween the nations must follow.
For the future. he declared. a vast

tian nations Then peace treaties
similar 10 those negotiated by the
United States with 80 nations binding
them not 20 open hostilities until
after a year of investigation. should
be entered into by all the powers.
Mr. Bryan's statement reads:
Having considered the war as IL

trails. and then the origin Of the war
and the cause which led up TO il. we
