ator Moses, republican, New Hamp
shire, chairman of the committee.
"I will ulsrj agree," Mr. Bok wrote,
"to defray the expenses of a nation
wide referendum, if desired, and in all
respects give the plan which your
committee selects the same financial
support accorded by me to the pres
' ent plan."
With regard to the cost of the
American peace award campaign, its
backer declared he did not have the
definite information required by the
committee, hut suggested that Cor
nelius N. Rliss, treasurer of the award
should be summoned.
The text of Mr. Bock's letter to Sen

. tho members of your committee, it
is strongly intimated that I was pre
disposed in favor of a particular kind
of plan. Tt was likewise suggested
tli the Jury of award was also select

"My absolute confidence in the
Jury of the American peace awards Is
such that I he)!eve they carried out the

Tnlted States mav cooperate with
other nations to achieve and preserve
the peace of the world.

theirs, I can only ask) tho policy com
mittee of the American peace award
that the 22.1 04 submitted plans be
turned over to your committee, either
as a commi'tee of the same or as In
dividuals. If, In the Judgment of your
committee, there Is found a more prac
ticable plan than the one selected by
the Jury named above by which the
United States may cooperate with
other nations to achieve and preserve
tho peace of the world, I shall be glad
to give to the author of the plan se
