Washington Aug. 3o.-As President
to the German people as an answer
to Pope Benedict's peace proposals.
the next problem is to see that it is
delivered to everybody for whom it
was intended.
The British government will attend
to it so far as his holiness is con-
cerned. but the problem Of getting it
into Germany is our own.
The Englishmen would probably
undertake the rest Of it as well. bu.
there Is feeling that, as the note
is so entirely an exposition Of the
American view. 1t ought to be trans
mitted by Americans.
No Announcement.
There will be no government an

Will Edit Message.
If the German government follows
