WILL ACT

INTEREST

OF PEACE

William Jennings Bryan Will Prob

ably Follow Request of For

eign Editors and Visit

Europe

By Vnlted Press.

Washington, Sept. 18 Following

requests of editors of foreign papera

in this country, William Jennings

Bryan hag practically consented to go

to European countries and use his in

fluence iu attempting to bring about

peace.

In a statement to a committee of

the editors who, headed by Dr. Wm.

'argo, had urged him to undertake

the task, Mr. Bryan indicated that he

might at least visit neutral European

countries In the hope of gaining in

formation there to aid America In "the

maintaining of neutrality and the pre-1

ention of a preparedness that pro

vokes rather than prevents war."

Mr. Bryan's references to military

preparedness attracted attention In

the capital in view of the possible ef

fect of his attitude on some elements

of the house when the administration's

program for strengthening the .na

tional defense is considered. Earlier

in the day the former secretary of

tate had given out a statement de

claring money for increased military

expenditures would be difficult to ob-

ain, and adding:

I do not see that there is any rea

son for changing the policy of the

ountry in this respect. The prepared

ness which is now being advocated (by

national defense and navy leagues)

not only cultivates the spirit which

leads to war but it involves an expen-

iture which the people will not sub

mit to unless convinced that some na

tion is getting ready to attack us and

e cannot single out nations and pro-

pare against them without making

hatred a national policy."

A part of the work to be done on a

trip to Europe, Mr. Bryan said, would

be furtherance of the peace treaty

plan inaugurated by him. Existence

of peace treaties with Great Britain,

France and Russia, he declared, "en

ables us to carry on our diplomatic

disputes w ith them without any of the

sensationalism that has attended our

correspondence with Germany and the

acceptance of such treaties by Ger

many, Austria and Belgium "womo

silence the Jingo press and to a large

extent relieve the excuse whichhas

been used for the proagation of the

plan of greater preparedness.

"Having great faith in the plan and

having negotiated other treaties," he

added, "I might be able to present the

case more strongly in personal inter

views than I was able to do by diplo

matic correspondence and now that

the advantage of these treaties has

been made more apparent It is possi

ble that Germany, Austria and Bel

gium might be willing to enter into

such treaties."

-Mr. Bryan said that if he decided to

make the trip he would go not as a

spokesman of any special group, but as

" a representative of the peace senti

ment of the United tSates, which In

cludes the vast majority of our people."
