BRYAN OPPOSES
THE PRESIDENT.
ANTAGONIZES HIS PLAN FOR NATIONAL
DEFENSE-THINKS IT
UNCHRISTIAN IN SPIRIT.
Washington.November 6:--Former
Secretary Bryan came out squarely
against President Wilson's national
defence plan today in a formal
statement in which he took issue
' with the President's views as exloot
nirrVit Kofnrp fhp Man
pi CSSC'i look lllglib Wbvi V ....
hattan Club, of New York.
"A departure from our traditions;
a reversal of our national policy; a
menace to our peace and safety, and
k a challenge to the spirit of ChristiV
anity which teaches us to influence
F others by example rather than by
exciting fear," is Mr Bryan's view
of the national defense plans.
The former Secretary of State's
statement, which reiterates views he
had previously expressed on the subject
of preparedness for war, was
t regarded as the opening gun in the
fight which Administration leaders
expect in Congress against the adoption
of the plan. Mr Bryan's statement
says:
"I have read the President's speecn
at New York with sorrow and concern.
He is doing what he believes
to be his duty, and so long as a man
follows his conscience and judgment,
we cannot criticise his motives, but
we may be compelled to dissent from
his conclusion. I feel it my duty to
? dissent, and as he has given his
views with clearness and emphasis,
those who differ from him are under
like obligation to express themselves
with equal clearness.
"He says that his position is different
from that of the private individual,
in that the private individual
is free to speak his own thought
L and to risk his own opinions. This
* sentence is a little obscure. In so
far as he expresses his own opinion
he does not differ from the private
citizen, except that he speaks under
r a sense of official resposibility, but
where a nation's fate is involved in
f a policy every private citizen who
loves his country and tries to serve
it is conscious of responsibility. The
, President will not assume that he
is more deeply interested in the welfare
of his country than the millions
who elected him to be for the time
being their spokesman. And if, as
he evidently believes, he is giving
voice to the opinions of his countrymen,
he is of course, anxious to
have them frank with him as he has
been with them?how otherwise can
he know whether he represents or
f misrepresents their views?
"He has announced a policy which
i . has never heretofore been adopted
f in this country and he has no way
(of knowing, until he hears from the
people, whether he has correctly interpreted
the will of the public."
The News and Observer plant, at
Raleigh, N C, the property of Secre^
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels,
was for the second time destroyed
by fire, early Saturday. The conflagration
included a number of adjacent
buildings, representing a total
loss of from $350,000 to $400,000.
Mr R G Rhett, former Mayor of
Charleston, has been elected president
of the Chamber of Commerce
in that city for the ensuing year.

Protests against European Block- (
ade as Indefensible.
The United States' in its latest
note to Great Britain, made public
at Washington Sunday, covering ex- f
haustively British interference with s

American iraue since me ^"'">"6 I *
of the European war, declares that a
the so-called blockade instituted by a
the Allies against enemy countries r
March 11 is "ineffective, illegal and t
indefensible." t
Notice is served that the American \
Government "cannot submit to the f
curtailment of its neutral rights," \
and it cannot "with complacence {
suffer further subordination of its i
rights and interests." 1
Ambassador Page, by whom the I
note was sent by special messenger (
for delivery to the London foreign I
office, was instructed by Secretary \
Lansing "to impress most earnestly" c
upon the British Government that
the United States "must insist that ?
the relations between it and his Maj- 5
esty's Government be governed, not ?
by a policy of expediency, but by
those established rules of interna- 1:
tional conduct to which Great Brit- <
ain in the past has held the United S
States to account when the latter
nation was a belligerent engaged in C
a struggle for national existence." i
Declaring the United States "un- S
hesitatingly assumes" the task of
championing the integrity of neutral c
rights, the note proclaims that the a
American Government will devote v
its energies to the task, exercising ?
always an impartial attitude.
The note, nearly 15,000 words in
length, was made public by agreement
between the State department g
and the British foreign office. It
carries with it a voluminous appendix,
giving the text of American
Naval instructions issued in 1862, I
and a summary and table showing fc
hundreds of vessels detained by Brit- t
ish authorities since the beginning t
of the present war. r
The body of the note is divided e
into thirty-five points, dealing with e
all phases of the contraband ques- c
tion, seizures and detentions, prior
to, as well as after, the so-called e
blockade was instituted, and an- a
nounces that a separate communica- t
tion will be sent soon dealing par- 1
ticularly with the "propriety and t
right of the British Government to h
include in their list of contraband of
war certain articles which have been b
so included." _ F
