The principal recommendations of

THAT the United States exert all
their influence to secure the entire
unity of effort, military. naval and
economic, between themselves and the
countries associated with them in the
war.
'Inasmuch as the successful termi-
nation of the war by the United States
and the allies can be greatly hastened
by the extension Of the United States
shipping program, that the govern
ment and the people of the United
States bend every effort toward ac-
complishing this result by a systematic
coordination of resources of men and
materials.
"That the fighting forces of the
United States be dispatched to Europe
with the least possible delay, Incl
dent to training and equipment"
Report Filed by COL House.
The following statement the depart
ment made public in connection with
L = recommendations:
"A review of the report filed with
the department of state by Col. House,
the head of the special war mission
which visited Great Britain and
France in November, shows that it sue
ceeded in it's purpose of reaching a
definite working plan for the prosecu-
tion of the war through cooperation of
the governments represented at the
conferences held in Paris in the vari-
GUS fields of activity. and through
marshaling the resources of the ma
tions at war with the central powers
and -ordinating their uses under
common authority. thus avoiding the
waste and uncertainties that arise
from independent action.
"A summary of the results accom-
plished at their conferences and of
the recommendations made by the
American mission will indicate the
value of the work done and the prac-
teal methods which were considered
by the conferences and which are
recommended in the report"
The results of the conferences, as
shown in the report, are most CRAFTY
ing to this government, first because
they indicate that the conferences were
inspired by the desire to be mutually
helpful, and, second, because the
agreements which were reached, when
in full operation, will greatly increase
the effectiveness of the efforts now be-
ing put forth by the United States and
the allies in the conflict against Ger
many and Austria Hungary.
A definite plan was formed for more
active utilization of American naval
forces and an agreement was made
with the British admiralty to effect
certain plans for anti-submarine war
fare
Through a new interallied organiZa-
ton for co-ordinating shipping re-
sources, arrangements have been made
