many aided in the protection of the
United States and the rest of the al
lies, they should respond and make
her an asset in the league of nations.
He also said that the United States
owes a debt to Belgium. The stand OF
the Italians for the liberty of the world
involved an obligation on the part of
the United States to establish Chris

responsibility of establishing the same
Christian patriotic spirit in Europe.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Settle
ment of the accounts OF the committee
on public information, now being
made, will show that the committees
domestic work was virtually self
sustaining" George Creel, chairman
Of the committee, said today Mr.
Creel returned several days ago from
Europe after spending several months
closing up the committees affairs. He
reiterated today his statement made
on his arrival in New York, that he
had resigned as chairman of the com
mittee.
President Wilson, he said, however
had not accepted his formal resigna.
ton.
OF the original appropriation OF
$1.250.000 for the committees work
Mr.. Creel said about 100000 remain
ed unexpended. About 100000. he
said, had been made from motion pic
lures and war exhibitions and paid
into the treasury, and about $250.00O
more will come in from this source
The committee chairman said 1t might
be interesting to learn that the de.
cided Official Bulletin had taken In
$S4,294 in subscriptions" Additional
sums, he said. are expected to be
realized from the sale Of furniture
and fixtures belonging to the COM
mittee.
No Influence with Wilson.
In explaining that he regarded HIM
self now as private citizen, Mr.. Creel
said that he had made no plans for
his future activities, but meant to take
an active interest in political affairs.

seeker, but much as a humble as
which our public life stands in need"
Mr.. Creel characterized reports OF
differences with President Wilson as
false and absurd" He said that 1t
was on the one hand his greatest
pride that he could say that from the
first to the last he had only faith,
confidence and the most inspiring sup
port from the president"
In discussing the peace conference,
Mr.. Creel asserted that he kept his
pledge made before going abroad that
he would have nothing to do with the
conference publicity.
1.-The amazing situation developed
he added, that the very correspon-
dents who were most fearful OF my
secret control were eventually quar-
reling with me for my steadfast re-
fusal to be their wet nurse"
Mr.. Creel denied flatly that the
American government had, since the
coming of the peace conference, exer-
cised any censorship over news mat
ter between Europe and the United
States. He said that although the
French and British censorships were
still in operation, nothing has been
done by this government to prevent
criticism of President Wilson and his
policies from reaching the European
press or the sending to the United
States any news the correspondents
see fit to transmit.
