iWilson-tkere are indications that
when the United States. acting as the
intermediary, transmits the German
proposal. it may accompany its action
by some steps to throw the influ-
ence of the United States into the
balance for at least consideration.
however preliminary. of the terms on
which lasting peace might be
brought to the world. Some ranking
officials of the American government
believe a league of nations, such as
President Wilson has suggested, must
be the outcome, and it could not be
perfected without the participation of
the United States.

the result for HIMSELF
