r _ DEMOCRATS WILL MEET REPUBLICAN CHALLENGE President Believes Party Will Welcome League as Paramount Is- j sue?Glad for People to Decide Point. New York, June 17.?President Wilson, in an interview, given to the; New York World, to be published! ^tomorrow morning, said he was "ex- j x 1 - ? 4-Uof f Un "Hr*-mr\r*r*?,i + _ ' XTOnifiy fOUUUCiii uiat nic uvuivnuv i ic convention at San Francisco will j ' welcome the acceptance by the Re-j publican party to make the leagu?j of nations the issue in this campaign. "I am even more confident," the j president said, "that such referen-1 dum will confirm my faith that the American people desire it above anything else that a political party now may provide, and that they will condemn "Rprmbliran Dolicv of deny * ing them the consummation of their P hopes. No one will recommend a referendum on that issue more than I." "I suppose 1 &hou)d be flattered," he said, "over being made the issue ?of the presidential campaign by the; Republican party. But even the ef-1 forts of the platform makers at1 Chicago to confer the distinction of j being not only a burning but a liv-! -ing issue by camouflaging and ob- j scuring the real issues, which will .not deceive the people. Scientifically Prussian. "The processes by which the Chicago platform was accomplished \ seemed to me to have been essential-! ly and scientifically Prussian in in- j spiration and method. Instead of quoting Washington and Lincoln, the i Jlepublican platform should have j quoted Bismarck and Bernhardt, because the Republican attitude regarding the supreme issue that can not be abandoned' or disregarded strongly suggests the arbitrary influences that dictated the doctrines -of those two eminent persons. Every charge directed against me and my administration is obviouslv designed rvn>?o m Aimf lc?c?n a r* r\r\_ I lkj UCtlvuu tuc yaiaiav/Uiit icou^ vu?i~ fronting: the people of America; to befog their sense of responsibility 'and make violations of the obligations they have assumed to be of small consequence. "I sincerely believe that the attempt of the Republican party to "~v win the sanction of the American people for its attempted evasion of * ' these obligations will be decisively rebuked. With one thing I am fully satisfied?that is, that the Republican party in its platform has joined j Hie in uie suggestion i maue 111 letter to the guests at the Jackson j Day dinner in Washington in Janu- L ary. In that letter I expressed the hope that a sincere attempt would c v he made to determine the attitude r of the American people on the lea- j j gue of nations by the resort to the j z genuinely Democratic process of the ^ referendum. t Positive Expression. o '"Of course, I have no way of an-; L ticipating the probable trend of sen-1 p timent that will be expressed in the j u Democratic national convention at 0 San Francisco, or forecasting the ul-11 i * i /? ii i 1. .

Whatever- else the Da mocratic party may do, I hope ;hat its convention at San Francisco will say ^ just what it means on every issjcr>.^-and that it will not rescrt either to ? ambiguity or evasion in doing so. "This thing (the league of naitaons) lies too deep to permit of any . nAllt'i/lnl Srxil/lll r-OOVl! <J ?"l otfomnt t A t 0\_ UlUUggV-l J , UI1J uv?v.?n/y " ? ! sidestep or evade moral and human itarian responsibilities much too sol-: emn to treat so lightly or ignore. "I should prefer at this time not to -iiscuss partisan politics or to venture any predictions as to the probable attitude that the Democratic , convention will take on any subject. I sincerely believe, however, that the ? vast majority of gentlemen who will t sit in the San Francisco convention will appreciate the necessity and permanent value of keeping the word j ^ * that America has given to the rest Q of the world. Will Not Fool Anyone. 0 "The thinly veiled rejection of the f principle of the league of nations by e the Chicago convention will not fool c any one. The attitude of Senator t Lodge and that of Senator Johnson 0 differ only in degree. Both are 0 really opposed to it in any form. One \ t <of these genetlem^n is disingenuous p and evasive and the other candidly c hostile. | r "H must be a trifle disconcerting i a to some Republicans,'' he added, "to v. , . have their party propose how. to re- t pudiate that which was approved a ' 1 few years ago by some of their most, e important leaders. I am as confident j today as I was when I returned j c -from Paris finally in July last that; v the people of not only America but; of the entire world are in fav<fr of i the league of nations; that they s would not approve, with their votes, \ of the policy of the Republican par- a ty which is wholly political in intent \ and purpose; to deny them the pro- s tection that the league of nations as- \ sures." c "The Republican congressional t policy," he added, "was more signi- z ficant for evasion of joint responsi- s bility in grappling with the prob- 2 lems that confront the country than r for any moral appreciation of the re- t sponsibility itself. Republican lead- ( ers in congress cried aloud for the i repeal of some of the measures i which they well knew protected the y people from more serious evils than 1 they would have the country know.

The leaders who call themselves ' progressive and who pretend to speak for the progressive element in i 1 the Republican party sacrificed every 1 principle that made attractive the ; movement of eight years ago in order to gratify the ambition of some; of the present day leaders to prevent the people of the United States from ' fulfilling their honest obligations to1 the rest of the world and to themselves. The abandonment at Chicago of the progressive spirit was woefully tragic. I hope and believe that the tragedy at Chicago will provide the Democratic party with an object lesson in this direction that will not be overlooked." President Wilson also declined to di>cuss in detail the subject of prohibition, woman suffrage or the high cost of living. He expressed the opinion that the party leaders will nvovidp a nlatform sufficiently broad. , [ progressive, liberal, just and thor! ou^rhly Democratic to convince the people of the country of the comolete honesty of the Democratic party and of the difference between ? it and the Republican partv. ! ?
