The strength of concerted ation by

V. 8. Weuld Alter Peliev.
What sort of a diplomatio understand
ng there may be among the neuttrai
ae subject of deep speculation htere to
tight, Despite the time-honored policy
if the United States against "eatangling
Piianoes abroad," the .aministration for
oe time has let it be known that it
would not hesitate to join in any con
ert of action for peace. It Is possible
hat the entire foreign policy of the na
ion may be shifted, and the United
tates may find Itself the keystone of a
ew world alliance.
Efforts of various neutral nationo, par
icularly Sweden, to form a neutral en
ente, have failed during the past year,
,stensibly because of the American
irejudice against entangling alllanoe.
Whether the present effort to concentrate
he efforts of the neutrals ham overcome
hat prejudice was not clear last night.
Senor Don Ignacio Calderon. the Do
ivian Minister, was deeply Impressed by
he tenor of the Swiss note.
"Other neutrals may be expected to
lutckly follow Switzerland's step, In
lorsing President Wilson's peace move."
)r. Calderon said. "South American coun
ries. probably without a single excep-'
Ion. are in hearty sympathy with the.
'resident's suggestion. and undoubtedlyl
ill give expression to their devout hopest
'or peace in forthcoming communica
lons."
W. A. F. Ekengren, the Swedish Minis
er, voicing the sentiments of the Scan
linavian group of countries. declared last
tight that European neutrals probably 0
would communicate, formally or inform-!a
Lily, expressions similar to those pub
ished by the Swiss federal council.
Dr. Ekengren believed that all neutrals
vould join in a universal demand for
eace.
%eutral Attitude Deuse'd.
The Swedish minister said that while
le had had no instructions from his gov
-rnment since the dispatch of the Prwsi
lent', note. he confidently expected that
he SwedLsh government's position would
- made plain at an early date.
Senor Don Juan Riano, the Spanish
%mbassador, likewse was without offi
-lal word from Madrid as to what the d
ittitude of Spain will be, but he was e
juick to see the great significance of the I
;wiss announcement. as the forerunner 1
f a host of other communications of like I
one from other neutral capitals.
Germany Views Peace
Note "With Sympathy"
The German government' attitude to
hard President Wilson's note to the
yeliigerentA urging an exchange of peace:
erms was outlined at Berlin yesterday
my Baron von' Dem Busche Hadden
inusen, undersecretary of foreign af
airs. In an Interview with a staff mem
,er of the Overseas News Agency.
Owing to the semi-official character of
that agency, whose outgivings are most
y inspired by Wilhelmstrasse, the inter
view may be regarded as a resume of
what will be the German government's
reply to the American note.
Baron voDem Busche recently sue
reeded Alfred Zimmermann. now foreign
secretary, as undersecretary of foreign
iffairs. He was some years ago counsel
)r to the German Embassy in Washing
ton.
Summarised, these are the chief points
In his interview, partly stated In direct
terms, partly implied.
President Wilson's note has been re
eIved in Germany, "with sympathy."
rhe undersecretary added: "This Is cer
tainly true of official circles."
The conclusion of peace itself is a mat
ter solely between the belligerents.
The United States will, however, play
"an important part," in the "general ar
rangements for the future, to prevent a
recurrence of the present war."
All the belligerents are agreed, in
words, as to the necessity of protecting
the small neutral states.
In their actions, "they have been less
mi at.ious."
D~eclining to discuss the case of Bel
rium. as belonging to "the past," Baron
von Dem Busche pointed totmthe entente
treatment of Greece and Rumanian and
heir promise of Constantinople to Rus
ia.
The central powers, he said. 'must in
4ist upon the prevention in the future of
Mgressive coalitions of great powerv
tiainst one or several others, with inten
'ions of partition or conquest."
Germanny, he said, "n'aust know within a
'ew days." the entente answer to the re
0nt peace proposal. 4
He said It seemed po"sible that the en
tente would avoid that answer, in which
'vent, he added, "things will take a dif
erenst course."
