II isl this consideration almost as
much as any other, It is believed,
that would move President Wilson to
seize upon the present opportunity to
urge peace. In this respect the inter-
ests of the United States would be
the Interests OF all neutral powers,
so that while Il is not expected that
he would formally Join with any other
powers in profering good offices, "
In inferred that he might instruct the
American diplomats abroad to work
as far as possible In harmony with
other neutral diplomats to the end.
