WILSON AND BRYAN
CLASH AT JACKSON DINNER.
Wshington, Jan. 9.?Last night, during
the Jackson Day dinner at Washington,
D. C., there was a serious conflict
between the statements of views
on the peace teraty by President Wilson
and Wililam J. Bryan.
A letter from.' President Wiison,
which was read at the dinner, contained
the following declarations regard
ing the pending peace treaty and tne
league of Nations:
"We must take it (the treaty) without
changes which alter its meaning,
or leave it."
"If there is any doubt as to what
the people of the country think on
this vital matter, the clear and single
way out is to submit it far determination
at the next election to the vot
ers of he nation. *
When after the reading of these important
statements of the President,
the other members of the audience
"applauded loudly and rose to their feet
in their enthusiasm, Mr. Bryan not
only failed entirely to applaud but remained
seated in emphatic emphasis ,
of his disapproval of the President's
declarations. nAnd later,-in explanation
of his attitude regarding the matter,
he made the following ' statements:
"We cannot go before the country
on the issue that such an appeal would
present."
"Npither can we go before the country
on the issue raised in Article X.
If we do not intend to impair the
right of Congress to decide the question
of 'peace or war when the time
for action arises, how can we insist
upon a moral obligation to go to war
which can have no force or value excepjt
as it does impair the independ- i
ence 01 uongress.
"The Republicans have a majority 1
in the Senate, and can thereby by
right dictate the Senate's course. Being
in the minority we cannot demand
the right to decide the terms upon
which, the Senate will consent to ratification."

ed to say that Congress should have j
taken from, it the right to declare war,1
and the Democratic Party can never
afford to go before the country on
that issue."
"A majority of Congress can de
clare war. Shall we make it more
difficult to conclude a treaty than to
enter a war?"
The President's declarations regarding
the treaty caused this comment by
Senator l^odge, the Republican leader:
"The issue is celarly drawn. The
reservations intended solely to protect
the United States in its sovereignty
and independence are discarded by
the President. He places himself
squarely in behalf of internationalism
against Americanism."
Senator Hitchcock, the Acting
Democratic leader, in referring during
his address at the Jackson dinner to
the treaty situation , expressed the
hope that some satisfactory agree
ment witft tne majority senators
might be reached, but added that in

any event "We shall win because
America is a land of hope and not of
despair."
Former Ambassador James W. Gerard,
who has been prominently mentioned
as a Democratic Presidential
candidate, in adressing the hundreds
of Democratic dinners last, night,
made the fololwing statements rcI
garding treaty action:
|
i "I have been for the league without
changes, but a great danger threatens
Europe. It demands that both sides
I together, that a compromise be
O ? mac^e,
and peace be given to the
world. After all the reservations are
in favor of America, and if the other
powers accept no harm can come to
us by adopting them."
Although there was frequent and
loud aplause during the reading of the
President's letter, there was a noticeable
failure on the part of most of the
dozen or more speakers to make any
definite statement of their views regarding:
the peace treaty. This fact,

together with the emphatic .statements
in opposition, to the President's
attitude made by Bryan and Gerard,
indicate that the President's letter is
likely to cause discord rather than to
promote harmony in Democratic
ranks. The letter will also, apparently,
have the effect of definitely doing
away with all possibility of further,
action by the Senate on the treaty until
after the Xovemher, 1 !*20. elections.
While this delay in the final dispo
sition of the treaty will be regretted
by many earnest advocates of peace,
many others will be gratified to know
that this tremendously important
matter is to be passed upon by the
American people themselves before
final and irrevocable action is taken.
Meanwhile, since it is hardly conceivable
that the present technical
state of war should contiuc until after
the Presidential elections, it may reasonably
be expected that, pending the
result of the referendum on the treaty
suggested by the President, Congress
will pass a resolution declaring the
