ported the President's entire war pro
gramme, aa well aa htm position on tba
llcUmor resolution and other que
lions leading op to tha war.
No statement waa made by Repre
sentative UcArthur as to bis campaign
plana, but It la assumed that he will
not return to Oregon for tha primaries,
as he did not do so two years ago.
lie has always taken tha ground that
a member of Congresa haa Important
dutlea to perform and should give his
attention to. these dutlea rather than
to bis own political ramnatgna.
In elaborating tha Ukrainian peace
policy. aid that any annexations or
surrender of territory without tbe con
sent of the people InvolTed was Inad
missible, aa likewise were war Indem
nities. Material altanc should be
extended l email states.
Inasmuch aa t.Ke Russian Council of
Peopie'a Com.-nlssinnera did not repre
ent I'kralne. he said, any peace wblch
might be negotiated would be binding
for Ukraine only If accepted by It. The
same principle, he a!ded. applied to the
other Russian republics.
Cn tha proposal of tha president. It
was decided to boM private dellbera
