WILSON WRITES KITCUIN
HAS CHANGED HIS MIND BE
CAUSE CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE
CHANGED.
However There is No Change 'n His
Attitude Toward Protection Ques
tion.-Deal Only With Facts.
Washington. - President Wilson
sent a letter to Chairman Kitchin'of
the House Ways and Means Commit
toe explaining why he had withdrawn
his opposition to a tariff commission
and now was urging the creation of
such a body by Congress. He wrote
frankly that he had changed his mind
because "all the circumstances of the
world had changed."
Declaring that he had "no thought
whatever of a change in attitude to
ward the so-called protection ques
tion" the President said the proposed
commission would have nothing to do
with theories of policy but would be
charged only with the duty of seeking
facts to guide Congress in legislation.
In another letter to Mr. Kitchin he
had set forth fully his ideas of what a
traiff commission shoulq be and urged
that the Ways and Means committee
ccnsider the matter immediately. He
favoredl a wholly non-partijan, expert
organization.
"I have changed my mind." said
the letter, "because all the circum
stances of the world have changed
and it scoems to me that in viewv of
the extraordinary and far-recaching
changes which the European wvar has
brought about it is absolutely necos
sar'y that we should have a compe
tent instrument of inquiry along the
whole line of the many questions
which affect our foreign commerce.
"I hav'e had in this change of mind
no thought wvhaever of a change of
attitude towvards the socalled protec
tion question. That is neither here

ILSON OMINAT
LOUIS 0. BRANDEIS
TO SUCCESS THE LAIE JUSTICP
LAMAR ON SUPREME COURT
'ENCH.
WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE
Senate and All Official Washington
Received News Without Fore
warning.
Washington.--Louis D. Brandeis of
Bosto4 was nominated by President
Wilson for the place on the Supreme
Court bench made vacant by the death
of Associate Justice Lamar.
The Senate received the nomina
tion with unconcealed surprise-in
whick all official Washington joined,
because Mr. Brandeis had not been
mentioned among the long list of
eligibles which President Wilson con
sidered, or among an equally long
list of aspirants who presented en
dorsements.
Some Senators announced to their
colleagues they were opposed to the
nomination, but ,declined to be quot
ed to that effect. The only Senator
found who was willing to publicly
record his opposition at this time was
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York.
Senators who aproved the nomina
tion were not lacking, although they,
too, avoided public expression of their
views. They felt sure however they
could command the necessary major
ity to confirm the appointment.
It was learned that among the en
dorsements sent to the President urg
ing Mr. Brandeis' appointment was
one from Gifford Pinchot, former chief
forestor, whoso celebrated controversy
with Secretary Ballinger brought Mr.
Br'andeis into the public eye six years
ago. He appeared as chiof counsel for
the forces opposing the former Secre
tary of the Interior in the noted Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy which sent
its ramifications into many phases of
national politics at the outset of Pres
ident Taft's administration.
Although celebrated as a lawyer,
Mr. Brandeis has been devoting prac
tically all his time of late to the Zion
ist movement in this country which
has for its object the repatriation of
the Jews to a nation of their own in
Palestine.
Some of the Senators disposed to
express opposition to Mr. Brandeis
were Democrats who sought to put
their objections on political grounds.
Senator James of Kentucky, the native
state of Mr. Brandeis, unreservedly
told them the nominee was a Demo
crat. Justice Lamar, whom he would
succeed, lso was a Democrat. Six of
the eight Justices now on the bench
are Republicans.

CONSIDERS TARIFF BOARD
WANTS TARIFF COMMISSION
WITH BROAD POWER TO IN.
VESTIGATE TARIFF DUTIES.
Conferred With Majority Leader
KitchIn and Others-Should Be
Non-Partisan.
Washington. - Announcement has
been made that President Wilson fa.
vors the creation of an independent,
non-partisan tariff commission, with
broad powers to investigate tariff du.
ties, the relations between industries
at'home and abroad and the entire ta
riff and commercial machinery of the
world.
The president discussed his plan al
length with Representative Kitchin,
chairman of the house ways and
means committee, and asked that the
committee consider it immediately
with the view of getting action during
the present session of Congress. Alsc
le laid the tnatter before Senators
Simmons, chairman of the senate fi
nsance committee. Later he may ad
dress congress on the subject, al
though it was said this was improb
able.
Although the president previously
has taken the position that th'e powers
of a tariff commission already are
hold by existing government bureaus
he told Mr. Kitchin hie felt justified
in pressing for -the creation of a sepa
rate commission at this time because
of uinusual Inaternational conditions
and on account of the interest the
United States wvill have in commercial
adjustments after the present up
hieaval.
Representative Kitchin said he
thought the F'ederal Trade Commis
sion should be clothed with whatever
adlditional powers' might be necessary
but that he believed a majority of
the ways and means 'committee fa
vored a new independent body. The
presideht made it plain he did not
think the proposed commission should
be established with the view of up
holding or criticising any particular
tariff policy but sljould be entirely
non-partisan, and capable of gather
ig facts' without any political basis.
Mann Speaks For Defence.
Washington.-Unqualified, non-par
:isan support of military preparedness
wvas urged by Minority Leader Mann in

Representative Mann declared that

being drawn into the present conflict
yr one that might result from it was

New York.-President Wilson open
ed his personal appeal to the country
for national defense. He gave warn
ing that plans for the readjustment of
the Army must be formulated and car
ried out without delay and solemnly
declared lie could not predict that the
outlook for the United States would
be as bright tomorrow ab today.
F- king at banquets of the Railway
' iness Ass'ociation and the Motion
Picture Board of Trade, lie sounded
the keynote of addresses that he will
deliver in the Middle Wes.
Mr. Wilson was in a fighting mood
throughout his address. In a speech
delivered early in the day, he declar
ed he always accepted an invitation
to fight. At night he told the railroad
men lie was an advocate of peace and
had struggled to keep the United
State's at peace, but he considered the
liberty and honor of the Nation even
more than peace.
"Woe to any man who plays mar
plot or who seeks to make party
politics or personal ambition take
precedence over candor, honor and
unselfish, unpartisan service," said
the President in speaking of his de
fense plan hefore the railroad men.
le declared that the country expects
action; this is a year of accounting
and the accounting must be definite
on the part of parties and on the
part of every individual who wishes
to enjoy the public confidence.
"For my part, I hope every man in
public life will get what's coming to
him," said Mr. Wilson amid laughter
and applause.
The President at both hanquets and
all during his day's visit to New York
was greeted with enthusiasm. On his
ride between the hotels where the
banquets were held he was escorted
by a band and the Ninth Command of
Coast Artillery of the New York Nat
ional Guard. Thousands of persons
packed the streets and cheered him
as he went by.
During his speech before nearly 1.
500 business men at the railway ban
quet, where he cast aside almost en
tirely the text of the address he had
previoulsy prepared for delivery there
he was frequently interrupted by ap
plause.
The President admitted that in a
message to the last Congress he had
said the need for preparedness was
not pressing. le dleclared that he
had learned something in the mean
time. H-e cited his recent support of
a tariff commission as another in
stance of a change on his part, hut
declared that previously there wvas
no need for such -a commission.
Mr. Wilson spoke of men of high
character whlo were clouding the pre
paredlness issue, lHe declared they
were provincial and that the United
States could no longer cut herself off
from the r'est of the- world.
The President vigorously' defended
his Mexican policy. He assertedl that
tu invade Mexico would mean the
losing of the confidlence of the rest
of the Western Hemisphere. He cited
the fr'eing of Cuba as an instance of
good done by the-United1 States.
"If we are drawvn into the mael
strom wvhich nowv surges in Furope."
the President declared, "wye shall not
be permitted to do the high things
we would prefer."
The President defended the con
tinental army plan dIrawn up by Sec
retary Garrison and Raid that he did
not care about details of any plan
as long as 500,000 trained men Were
provided as reserves under the Fed
eral Government. Hie advocated
strengthening the National Guard, btt
said the Constitution itself put the
guard under the state. He0 adlded that
the United States will not turn in
the direction of militarism.
