war.
Three million Jews in Poland alone

Mr.. Bryan let it be known also that
he will work to mobilize public senti-

Mr.. Bryan made two statements yes

came following an audience to a dele

four Of the belligerent nations, namely.
Great Britain. France, Russia and
Italy. The fact that we have treaties
with these nations enables US to car
ry on our diplomatic disputes with
them without any of the sensational
ism that has attended our correspond

principle. but have not yet signed the
treaties.
all the nations and has not been with
drawn. 1 take it for granted that our
government would gladly enter into
treaties with Germany. Austria, and
Belgium similar to the treaties we
have with the other countries. and such
treaties would silence the lingo press
and. to a large extent, remove the ex-
cuse which has been used for the
propagation of the doctrine of greater
preparedness.
Having great faith in the plan and
having negotiated the other treaties,
might be able to present the case
more strongly in personal interviews
than i was able to do by diplomatic
correspondence, and now that the ad-
vantage Of these treaties have been
more apparent it is possible that
Germany, Austria and Belgium might
be willing to enter into such treaties
mention these as matters worthy of
consideration and shall myself give
them weight in reaching a conclu-
sion"
Earlier in the day Mr.. Bryan had
this to say of the national defense
propaganda:
Il think the military preparedness
which is being advocated by the Ma
tional Security League and the Navy
League would provoke war instead of
preventing 1t. We cannot have the
preparedness which they are asking
unless we subject ourselves to the
leadership of the men who believe IN
it and they would not only provoke
future wars, but they would lead US
into the present war if they could"
