president covered the exact PROPOSE
ton said by Mr.. Breckenridge to have
been embodied in the postscript, and
may have been what Mr.. Brecken-
ridge had in mind when talking to
Dr. Bailey and Mr.. Jeffries about the
postscript which was rejected without
having been referred to the cabinet,
and 1t may also have been the reason
for Mr.. Bryan's statement to the Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador that the
note meant nothing.
81 would also call your attention
to statement by Mr. Charles War
rem. Republican presidential elector
of New Jersey. who states that he
was told by member of President
Wilson's official family that the
proposition to arbitrate the loss OF
life on the Lusitania was to be en-
bodied in a note to Ambassador
Gerard and was not to be a post
script to the strict accountability
note.
"As | have previously pointed out,
the suggestion for a proposition Of
arbitration to accompany the "strict
accountability" note, whether as a
postscript or as separate note.
and the methods of its suggestion,
consideration and rejection. are only
of interest as throwing light on the
manner in which our foreign relations
have been dealt with by this admin
istration.
This discussion of the arbitration
proposal does not in the least alter
the essential fact that the "stric
accountability" note meant nothing
as Mr.. Bryan declared to the Austro
Hungarian ambassador, and as events
ever since that time have painful,
demonstrated"
