Could, Be Easily Arranged
One official told met today that making peace at this
stage would be no moremifficult than adjusting the recen
German-American submarine dispute. He explained
however, that no belligerent can publicly state definite
terms of peace while informal discussions continue, with
oach, side making drastic statement of what it intends
to accomplish as a result of the war;
I learned on a trip iijto Holland that that country is
certain all the belligerents want peace, and that the time
for a decisive victory has passed, although each may at
tempt a summer offensive. The Dutch think it America's
duty to act now.
