INTERNATIONAL PEACE PLAN. PRESIDENT WILSON'S PEACE PROPOSAL. THE parties hereto agree that all questions of whatever character and nature in dispute between them shall, when diplomatic efforts fall, be submitted for investigation and report to an international commission (the composition to he agreed upon); and the contracting parties agree not to declare war or begin hostilities until such investigation is made and report submitted. The Investigation shall be conducted as a matter of course upon the Initiative of the commission, without the formality of a request from either party; the report shall be submitted within (time to be agreed upon) from the date of the submission of the dispute, but the parties hereto reserve the right to act independently on the subject matter in dispute after the report is submitted. ment. SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE. In the peace plan proposed by the President to all the nations the composition of the International Coin mission is left to agreement between the parties, and I am authorized to suggest for the consideration of those who are willing to enter into this agreement: 1. That the International Commission be of five members, to be composed as follows: One member from each of the contracting countries, to be chosen by the Government: one member to be chosen by each of the contracting countries from some other country, and the fifth member of the Commission to be agreed upon by the two Governments, the Commission to be appointed as s0CD as convenient after the making of the treaty, vacancies to be filled according to the original appoint2. The time also is to be agreed upon, and It is suggested that that time be one year. If a year is considered too long or too short this Government will consider elther a greater or a less period. 3. This Government is prepared to consider the question of maintaining the status quo as to military and naval preparation during the period of investigation, if the contracting nation desires to include this, and this Government suggests tentatively that the parties agree that there shall be no change in the military and naval programme during the period of investigation unless danger to one of the contracting parties from a third power compels a change in sald programme, in which case the party feeling itself menaced by a third power, shall confidentially communicate the matter in writing to the other contracting party and it shall thereupon be released from the obligation not to change its military or naval programme, and this release will at the same time operate as a release of the other contracting party. This protects each party from the other in ordinary cases, and yet provides freedom of action in emergencles. All of these suggestions, however, are presented for consideration, and not with the intention of Imposing any fixed conditions. The principle of investigation being accepted, the details are matters for conference and consideration. Treaties embracing this peace plan have been signed up to December 15, 1914, by thirty countries, as follows: All of these treaties, with the exception of those with the Dominican Republic and Panama, have been approved by the Senate, and the treaties with Guatemala, Great Britain, Costa Rica, Norway and Portugal have become effective by the exchange of ratifications.
