"If there Is any misunderstanding." said Lansing, "I wish to say very emphatically that I do not see how the Bemstorff message In any way reflects upon Congress or any member. Apparently It was the purpose to employ agencies to Influence them, of which they would have no knowl edge and in case they were Influenced would bo entirely innocent.
