ceived here generally with surprise
because it was known that Secres
tary Lansing, chairman of the com
mission, had Steadfastly opposed any

Lansing contended there was no law

be reached by the conference, and
that it would be contrary to the
constitution of the United States for
the American delegates to partici-
