QenV WILL tlVV UV ttAtD uo ttte pkSos- dent told him the other day that he did not believe the people of the United States were willing to go to war because Q few Ameri- cans had been killed"
 Lawrence K. Brown, youthful in. vestigator read the entries report without comment but turned the inquiry immediately to Q discussion of the American business mans at- titudo in the period before this country entered the war.
 Lamont Protested
 Morgan and Thomas W. Lamont, his partner, reiterated statements that their sympathies were "all with the Allies"
 "You can't put us in Q position of defending the Germans" La- mont said. We thought they were oil wrong."
 Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, d., Mo-, laughingly replied:
 "i should probably have the same feeling If I were Q member of Q firm that had profited by S3o,0oo,o00 handling British orders in the war"
 Morgans chubby face reddened. He leaned forward, resting his Meerschaum pipe on the table.
 "Your inference has been," he said, "that wo were practically bought by tho Allies. Our synls pathics were always with the Al- lies.
 He chuckled good-naturedly add- ing:
 q resent that kind of an insinu. ation."
 Same Feeling With Profits

 Clark laughed with the banker.

 Only Course to Wait.
 "The only course practicable was to wait, to suffer further indigni- ties, and to make every effort to bring about peace, so that the luke. warm would grow hot and the cold lukewarna.
 "The only satisfaction I derived from the situation was that 1t must open the eyes of many people. whe had been clamoring for action and claiming that the President should have acted after the Lusitania dis aster or certainly after the Sussex Why, the President would have beer defeated had he tried to obtain ac- ton after either case almost ai certainly as night follows day.
 T confess to a measure of indig- nation when I consider the abuse which the President has borne be- cause he was wise enough and brave enough to wait until he was sure that he could take 6 step which would not have to be withdrawn because Congress would not give him a decided majority"
