Gov. P. A Barrows has lb ft and the selection of the senate conference comrnittee fell to Senator Richard Norval, pres ident pro-tem of the senate and a strong censorship ..advocate, ,, were given as a reason for the forecast of victory for censorship.

On behalf of the administration it is stated that extreme care is being taken not .to involve the United States in enforcement of the treaty terms.

Tne evolution .of the administration peace program is being held in abeyance pending the outcome of the reparations negotiations.
