Upon the shoulders of his quiet

gathering historical, commercial and
geographical facts for this country's
use at the peace table.
It has been long accepted that House
would personally represent the presi-
dent at this conference. His new app
pointment- arranged when the presi-
dent recently visited him in New Eng
land-clinches this belief
FOR A DEFINITE PLAN.
1t is the purpose of both to draft for
finite plan. whereby the world may be
made safe against further aggression.
1t is not the intention of this country
to interest herself in territorial ad-
ditions or subtractions in Europe--ex-
cept insofar as those changes are ne
cessary to preserve future tranquility.
The wishes OF peoples in small states,
buffeted about from nation to nation
during wars of the last century. must
be determined. The commercial re-
auirements and geographical needs of
all must be studied before President
Wilson draws his plan for future world
peace, to be presented at the round
table.
SPOKESMAN FOR PRESIDENT.
House has always worked with the
president on grave international prob
lens. Before America entered the war
he toured the belligerent countries as
spokesman for the president in an ef-
fort to keep Americas position clear.
Colonel House VIII collect historical,
commercial and geographical data
such as England and France have
been gathering for the past three years.
This information is designed solely for
use at the peace conference when that
comes, but state department officials
were careful to. indicate that the house
appointment by no means indicates
any peace negotiations are in prospect
now.
LIKENED TO LABOR STRIKE.
They gave as an illustration OF
Houses work the situation surround
ing a railway strike. When it comes to
a settlement, 1t was pointed out. the
conferees are primed with facts on
wages, working conditions. income and
expenses. Similarly at the peace con-
ference. those participating will want
to know all the facts attaching to ev-
cry subject which may arise. The de-
partment declared officially that this
government is concerned with Euro
pean territorial readjustments only to
the extent of seeing that they shall
be such that the world hereafter shall
be safe for democracy"
Colonel House is not empowered now
to 20 abroad or to sound out either the
allies or the Teutons on the subject of
peace, II was stated The department
said his work will be similar to that Of

LAWSON'S LEAK CHARGES
ARE NOT SUBSTANTIATED
vlndication Of All Public Officials Is
Voted by Committee Which Has
Finished Probe.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Vindication
of all public officials whose names
were brought into the investigation on
charges that there was leak in Wall
street on President Wilson's peace
note has been voted unanimously by
the House rules committee.
The report, now virtually complete,
will be put in final shape after certain
additional records of New York brok-
ers have been examined.
1t is understood the committee finds
that Thomas w. Lawson's sensational
charges were not substantially; that
R. w. Boiling, brother-in-law of the
President, had nothing to do with a
leak" and that advance information
concerning the note was furnished to
brokers by J. Fred Essary and w. W.
Price, local newspapermen, who con-
nected deductions with facts obtained
in conversations with other reporters
who had been told in confidence by
Secretary Lansing that a note was
coming.
