on

of having

bring
about

resum:d.
He
was

with

his

with
Mr.
Louis
Swift, of
Cnicago,
who,
in 1913,
was interned
in
the
Unit:d
States,
as
an
allied
enemy.
He suid
that his
pre-war
policy,
whicn
wus being
termed
by
his enemies
as
"‘a
peace
at any
orice
policy’’,
was
not that
but
was
a
ooliecy
of European

It was

that
it really
