THE BEE: OMAHA, W Nebraska OVERNOR UNABLE | 70 GO- WITH FORD, Nebraska Executive Does Not Be- lieve Mission Would Succeed Without Official Backing. TRIP WOULD TAKE SIX WEEKS (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 30.—(Special)—Believ- ing that little can be accomplished by a mission such as Henry Ford is financing because it is not sponsored by the higl st officials of the United States, Gov erhor John H. Morehead has refused the invitation of Mr. Ford to be his guest as one of a number of people who will go to Kurope on December 4 to try to bring about peace among the belligerent na- tions. Governor Morehead re-eived another lotter this morning from Mr. Ford urging | him to accept the invitation and golng more into detalls regarding the mission. He figured that it would take at least six weeks to make the trip. The party will go over in ships together, but will break up after the sesslons of Peace are | over, and each individual will be pro- | vided transportation back to his destina- tion. Besides the reasons given in his letter to Mr. Ford for not going Governor More- § head does not belleve he would be justi- | fled in being away from the state for | such a period and beyond immediate re- call if matters of great importance should nééd his attention. His letter to Mr. Ford is as follows: Your two telegrams and letter received. | Your two telegrams and letter received. Without the co-operation of the presi- dent and the commission headed by men | of international prominence, backed hy: the governors of a majority of the states, | Illfll#sle! a general endorsement of lhl:‘ people of the United States, with a possi- bility of a hearing granted by the offi- cials of the belligerent governments, [ feel that little can be accomplished. | M, rsonal sacrifice in leaving Jhe work I am o interested in would be great, and vét if I could convince myself {hat 1 could be of service in ending the war 1 would not hesitate to make the sacrifice. Believi as 1 do, that a move- Tnent of this kind should'be sponsored the highest officials in the United States, and backed by the minor ones, am inelined to think that such a mis- Flon #s suggested by you would prove frujtless, and for that reason I am im- pelled to decline your kind and generous offer.
