foreign relations, that hs had “great

between the two countries “soon
would be adjusted,” produced a very
favorable Impression In administration
circlet.
President Wilson pointed out to call
ers what seemed to him conspicuous
efforts on the part of persons un
known to him through published mis
representations to Involve the United
