Views Regarding the
Outlook.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16,-The text
of Pope Benedict's peace note received
hero early today In cable dispatches
from London discloses that It does not
differ from the unofficial outline previously
received. The foundation stones
of the Pope's proposal for ending the
world war are reduction of armaments,
freedom of the seas, -settlement of all
international disputes by arbitration
and there shall he no retaliatory struggle
for economic world supremacy after
the war.
Publication here today of the text of
the Pope's proposal gave officials and
allied diplomats opportunity to make
a closer study of the Vatican's move
for [ eace than were possible from the
advance outline.
Officials while evincing much interest
refrained from making any comment
pending the receipt of the official
text of the Pope's communication
nor would they indicate the nature of
the reply to be sent the Vatican. The

The text o? the communication seemed
to strengthen the prevalent opinion
that there is no likelihood of the proposal
being accepted in their present
form. That public opinion in the allied
countries, inslstant on a favorable
decisive culmination of hostilities, will
cause the offer to be rejected was generally
conceeded here.
