mission which visited Great Britain

| succeeded In its purpose of reaching
"a definite working plan for the prose
Cution of the war through co-operatiol
of the government, represented at the
conferences held I'm Paris, In the va
rious fields of activity and through
marshalling the resources of the ma
tionS at war with the central powers
and co-ordinating their uses under com
mon authority, avoiding the waste and
uncertainties that arise from indie
pendent action.
The results of the conferences were
most gratifying To this government

conferees were inspired by the desire
To be mutually helpful, and second
because the agreements, which were
reached, when in full operation viii
greatly Increase the effectiveness OF
the efforts now being put forth by tn,
| United States and the allies in the con
