BRYAN PLAN SEEKS TO DELAY CONFLICT Suspension of War Prepara tions, However, Left to Fu . ture Determination. DIPLOMATS ARE SUMMONED President in Informal Conference Makes Own Views Known Na tions Declared Xot Botuid by Result of Investigation. WASHINGTON. April 21. Secretary Bryan's plan for International peace agreements was submitted to the diplomatic corns today, with practi cally every ambassador and minister in Washington present. The diplomatic corps had assembled at the State De nartment on the Secretary's invita tion to hear the proposal explained. Later in the day President Wilson made known his views on the plan at an informal conference with news papermen at the White House. The President talked of the subject in a general way, indicating that the de tails would be worked out by negotla tion. Haaty Judgment Avoided. The eeneTal proposal he has In mind Is that the contracting nations should never go to war over any dispute be fore there has been an investigation of the facts Involved. The plan would be not to bind the nations to abide by any decision of the investigating committee, but merely to effect a suspension of Judgment until Impartial persons have looked Into the circumstances at issue. As originally submitted to the state foreign relations committee the draft of the plan contained a sentence bear ing on the suspension of warlike prep arations during the period of investiga tion, but this was stricken from the copy distributed formally to members of the diplomatic corps toaay. Details Left to Future. The President's explanation of the omission was that it was deemed ad visable to eliminate details at this time and leave such points to be determined by negotiation with each particular nation. The President considers that the plan of limiting armaments is feasible only tf every nation agrees not to make preparations for war a third might en croach on either one of the inactive nations. Secretary Bryan-' said the outline he presented to the diplomats did not go Into detail because details were a mat ter for agreement batwen the contract ing nations and might tie different in different cases. "The statement presented to the dip. lomatic representatives," said Secretary Bryan, "is intended only to set forth the main proposition, namely, that the President desires to enter into an agreement with each nation, for the investigation of all questions of every nature whatever. This agreement is in tended to supplement the arbitration treaties now in existence and those that may be made hereafter. Arbltra tion treaties already -except some ques tions from arbitration. The agreement proposed by the President is Intended to close the gap and leave no dispute that can become a cause lor war with out investigation. Time for Investigation Given. "The time within which the report is to be made is left to be agreed upon, and it may be that the time will differ in different cases, but any ttme, how ever short, f urnishea an opportunity for Investigation and deliberation, and it is hoped that the period provided for in vestigation and deliberation will be sufficient to secure a settlement with out resort to war. 'Each party is to reserve the right to act independently after a report is sub mitted, but It is not likely that a na tion will declare war after it had had an opportunity to confer, during the In vestigation,' with the apposing nations. 'But whether toe proposed agreement accomplishes as much as is hoped for, it is at least a step In the direction of universal peace, and I am pleased to be the agent through whom the President presents this proposition to the powers represented here." 1914 MEETING IS LIKELY SEVATORS PREDICT INTERIM REPUBLICAN CONTENTION. Amendment to Rules Proposed Will Reduce Representation of South to Tentb of Whole. WASHINGTON, April 24. (Special.) A National Republican convention in 1914 is now practically certain, accord ing to Republican Senators. The con vention probably will be held early in May in Chicago. It will amend the rules so that delegates to future con ventions may be chosen on the basis of party strength in the various states, rather than in proportion to state's representation in Congress. This would limit the South to few delegates and leave it with about one- tenth instead of one-tnird tne total strength in a National convention. In addition tnls convention in au probability will adopt a new National platform. The platform of 1912 was made by a convention whose work in general would be repudiated by the convention of 1914.
