To expedite the great bond issue and treasury certificate authorization, including its provision for loaning $3, 000,000,000 to the allies, Chairman Simmons today called a meeting of the senate finance committee for tomor- row morning.

The near approach of the econfer- ences and the growing certainty that an attempt will be made to harmonize the ends for which the allies are fight- ing with the principles laid down by President Wilson has developed the fact that all the entente nations havi informed each other very fully their maximum and minimum terms of peace so that each one has come to an exact knowledge of what the others were fighting for. These details, it now seems practi- caily, certain, will be disclosed freely to President Wilson in such a way as to comply with the suggestions of his note of Dec. 18, asking all the bellis- erents for such an avowal.
