AMERICA TO SPEAK
OWN VOICE ON PEACE
Expects Full Harmony But To Act
independently
BIG TASK FOR COLONEL HOUSE
Presidents Close Friend To Gather All
Data That Conferring Envoys
Will Need.

When the representative of the
warning nations gather about the con-
| ference table to arrange peace, the
United States will speak with voice
all her own. In concord with the AL
lies, of course, it is President Wilson's
desire that the representatives of
America be able and prepared to APP
ply, SO far as can be done, the pur-
poses for which we entered the war
TO the solution of every problem aris-
ing in a voice which, while in har-
mony with the Allies. will be sure TO
be purely American.
1t is because the President wishes
the American peace conferees to be in
position to reach their own deci-
sions that he has appointed his friend
and adviser, Colonel E. M. House, to
prepare the equipment of knowledge
with which Americas peace repre-
sentatives will approach the confer
ence table.
Colonel House. at his New York
home, made it very plain that his work
was one of preparedness only He
made it plain that it was not because
the President saw peace very near
that he was preparing for the discus
sions. Colonel House pointed out
that the Governments of the allied
nations had been for long time pre-
pairing data on the solution of all the
knotty problems that will come before
the pace conference. In addition to
this, he said, there were diplomatists
in all the European nations, Germany
included, whose knowledge of world
politics was superior to that possessed
by America nstatemen 1t is because
OF this condition. one which at pres
net might put Amrica's representatives.
in tn position of not being free at all
times from the necessity of acting on
the knowledge of others, that the
President has designated Colonel
House to prepare the American au-
thoritiess for peace negotiations.
AS Colonel House himself put it:
"At all conferences those come off
best who are best equipped, who have
the best cards in the way of knowl-
edge of what they are about. 1t is
intended that the proper knowledge
be gathered for the use of America
How To Make The World Safe.
Because America, Notwithstanding
statements to the contrary, entered
the war to make the world safe for
democracy" in the evolution of the
plan to preserve world peace strict
attention is to be paid to what
Americas representatives have to say
about how this is to be done:
There is the plan, expressed in
America by the League of Enforce
Peace, of which William II. Taft is
head. of having world police; mere
is the plan for which in this country
the World Court League stands
spokesman, of an international court
which, by force of opinion, will effect
good behavior among the nations, and
there are other plans. All these
plans. in the extent of their entertain
ment abroad and in America, will be
studied by Colonel House. He will
find out opinion on what would have
to be done in the establishment of
world police, how a world court
should be enforced, and he will report
the facts to the President.
