Put Blame On Wilson,
There is strong suggestion, which
has been repeatedly made, that the
fourteen points of President Wilson's
original agreement be recalled to
bling about a workable basis for the
details. British and French delegates
appear to be practically agreed on
where they stand. Lined up in this
form it would appear that unless the
president acquiesces to their views
he must bear the brunt of the blame
for delaying negotiations. Both
British and French statesmen have
said that as far as they are concern
