The reply is regarded here as "not

of reply. One state official described

any rate he is taking the risk and

such tremendous Importance that all

We can see reasons why President
Wilson earnestly feels that his pres

word there necessarily will have more
weight that the word of any represen-

importance which he rightly thinks
he can come nearer accomplishing in
