n means for attacking the Allied
and Associated Powers, thus frus-

disarmament"
But tho President came back
strongly with the American con-
tention:
President Wilson said that the
objection To this proposal was
that the Germans could not reveal
this information without also re-
veaIing trade secrets. He was adj
vised by his experts that nearly
every chemical used for. the war
was related to commercial chem.
istry and IL was impossible 10 as
certain one secret without ascer.
tanning others What he
wanted to avoid was an article
which could be used in a round
about way for irritating investi-
cation Of all possible secrets.
Such matters did not come within
the purview Of the military
terms"
He also argued that the means
would not accomplish the end de-
sired; The did not think that the
German chemists would allow
their true secrets 10 be discov.

amining their minds,

vision requiring the Germans n

OF poison gases used for militar,
purpose was adopted: but the pro
vision for Allied inspection wal
