My dear Senator Wheeler:
Since I have complied with your challenging demand to
publish the letter printed above appears fng that also
make public my reply to your communication
Perhaps statement in the editorial you
expressed belief that frequently reiterated state
mens about the probability of separate peace being consd
cred by Russia and Germany unfortunately worded
umed that like the great majority of the people of
country would be troubled and shocked by possibility of
such action by of allies
In the Auguset 26 issue of the Anaconda company's
Helena Independent there appeared interview with you
This interview carried lead story and
quoted you as saying:
q. inclined to the belief that Russia and Germany
now trying to formulate separate peace.
'n addition to the obvious efforts toward such
move have information what consider good authority
that the negotiations between the Russians and Germans have
the stage English and Amer
lean leaders,
Since you looked upon by many people of Montana
and the nation american leader" natural to
that you shared in the which stated felt
by those leaders And firmly believe that you
cerned possibility of that nature at this time stand
pretty much alone in your complacency.
While I quite ready to believe that there
balls Washington elsewhere who talk about anniha
ing the 70 million German people,, certainly there
sponsbe individual vocng anything like that able
where statement about those crazy people is
germane to the subject discussed.
Though you do not mention it in your letter. will refer
