the task Of translation and revision OF

have the United States l,act only as
medium for the exchange of notes was
made after prolonged cabinet meet
ing yesterday.

Austria and Turkey were meant to be

ten minute visit with Secretary Ian
sing: . .
& 1--WE did not discuss peace terms in
any way. / have not received any
formal terms and the American gov
ernrnent knows Officially that no form
al terms. have been proposed. All Ger
many has suggested is that the betilg-
erents get together and talk. If that
proposal is accepted, definite terms
naturally will be discussed, but TIL
then it will not be proper to mention
them. My visit to the secretary was
purely for general discussion.
The ambassador indicated that the
place for the holding Of conference
and the question as to whether 1t
should be by direct negotiations or
thru mediation were dependent entire
ly upon whether the entente allies
would discuss the proposals at all. s'
Secretary Lansing said early today
the peace notes probably would go for
ward before night. One uniform trans
1ation will be sent to American repre-
sentatives where the United States
represents the allies and the original
text will go forward later.
