Notes to belligerents outline US peace suggestions
The notes, prepared by Secretary Lansing and presented by a US envoy, set forth a neutral nation’s formal invitation for belligerent powers to declare views on terms to end the war and guarantee against future conflict. The text distinguishes notes to central powers and to the entente allies, stressing independent merit and peaceful aims.
