FRIDJ0F NANSEN.

His Excellency the PRESIDENT, II Place des Etats-Unis, Paris.

Senator KN0X, I think that was published in nearly all the papers.

Mr. BULLITT. Yes. In it he proposed that a commission should be formedat once for the feeding of Russia, because of the frightful conditionsof starvation and so on. Col. House decided that it would be an easierway to peace if we could get there via the feeding plan, under theguise of a purely humanitarian plan, if we could slide in that wayinstead of by a direct, outright statement inviting these people tosit down and make peace. Therefore he asked me to prepare a reply tothe Nansen letter, which I have here.
