Slow to answer Pope Benedicts peace proposal
Washington reports Secretary of State Lansing said the United States is informally exchanging views with the belligerents on the pope's peace proposal. The US will not rush a reply or hold formal talks, and Wilson seeks Russia's view before drafting a response. Russia's ambassador indicated Moscow finds the Vatican plan incompatible with democracy and not acceptable. Britain is expected to speak for the Entente, with Belgium possibly replying separately. Italy may also send its own note, while Russia faces domestic pressure to respond.
