believe In ultimate Success.
From this line OF reasoning South
American ambassadors and ministers
now believe ultimate success of the
Presidents overtures to be inevitable.
They consider Germany's military po-
sition strong, and believe II probably
susceptible of no material weakening,
even should the war go on for two
years more. They are convinced,
however, that should the struggle
continue for another twenty-four
months, Gcrmany's economic situa-
tion would be such as to preclude pos
slbility OF general rehabilitation with
In generation.
For that reason belief is voiced that
the Teutonic powers will respond TO
the President I'm the frankest manner
possible, with the most generous
terms in their power in order at least
to open discussion.
The President, having then heard
from both sides, will find himself in
the position of mediator, and n con-
ference OF all belligerents to discuss
their terms and iron out remaining
difficulties naturally would be the
next move.
