word that America has given to the
rest of the world.
' "The thinly veiled rejection of the
principle of the league of nations
by the Chicago convention will not
fool any one. The attitude of Sen
ator Lodge and that of Senator
Johnson differ only in degree. Both
are really opposed to it in any form.
One of these gentlemen is disin
genuous and evasive and the other
candidly hostile. '
"It must be a trifle disconcerting
to some republicans," he added, "to
have their nartv prooose now to re
pudiate that which was. approved a
tew years ago by some oftheir most
important leaders. I am as confi
dent today, as I was when I, re
turned from I'aris finally in July
last, that the people of net only
America, but of the entire world,
are in favor of the league of nations;
that they would feel a greater sense
of security if its benefits should be
guaranteed; that they would not ap
prove, with their votes, of the policy
of the republican party which is
wholly political in intent and pur
pose, to deny them the protection
that the league of nation measures.
(. 'The republican congressional
I policy," he added, "was more sig-
nificant for evasion of joint respon
I nihility in grappling with the prob
i Kttis that confront the country than
frjr any moral appreciation . of the
responsibility itself. Republican
leaders in congress cried aloud for
the repeal of some of the measures
which they w.ell knew protected the
people from more serious evils than
1 they would have the country know.
Praises Lever Act.
"The Lever food control act has
i proven to be one of the most ef
fective agencies in preventing depre
dations at the expense of the people,
than almost any other measure now
in operation. Time for repealing it
is not yet.
"Republicans chorused a ponder
ous note of protest against the ad
ministration enforcement of the es
pionage act and some other meas
ures that were of vital necessity
during the war. Yet I defy the re
publicans to prove that the power
given the government during 9the
war has-ever been unjustly used
against the people; that a siftgle
citizen has been imwarrantly pun
ished for any act of aggression or
disloyalty against the nation; that
any man has been punished for ex
pressing his opinion. I have read
charges to the contrary, but in each
instance I have had the matter thor
oughly looked into and am in posi
tion to contest the accuracy of any
statement that the rights of a single
individual have been unjustly in
vaded. "The United States senate has for
11 months had in its hands the
power to end conditions that are
unmistakably irksome to a great
many of our citizens because, with
the ratification of the peace treaty,
the 'operation of laws that were en
acted to safeguard the interests of
.the country in the war would au
tomatically cease.
Must Enforce Laws.
"As long as these laws are on the

ing, enforced with as little injury
to the welfare of the country and
rights of individuals as possible. I
don't know that I would even care
to defend any policy that I have
deemed essential to the iullest pro
tection of the national interest. That
would be too much like offering an
apology where one is not needed. I
do not believe my course calls for
an apology of any kind.
"The republican and not the
democratic policy, has been respon
sible for any bad effects that have
resulted from the failure of the re
publican senate to ratify the Ver
sailles treaty and the covenant of
the league of nations. The repub
lican policy of negation has been
persisted in for the sole purpose of
advancing republican chances for
winning the coming presidential
election and has never reflected a
sincere desire to ameliorate the ef
fect of measures adopted for pro
tecting the country in time of war.
The republican policy has been
rather to exaggerate the effect of
these measures."
The president declined to discuss
candidates for the democratic pres.
dential nomination.
"I have the greatest faith," he
said, "in the; intelligent apprecattion
by the delegates who will assemble
at San Francisco two weeks hence
to write the platform and nominate
the standard bearers of our party.
They will have before them the re
publican platform, and'will have es
timated the effect of it on the peo
ple generally. They will have from
whom to select candidates for the
presidential and vice presidential
nominations a number of excellent
men. I should not want to express
any preference or opinion regarding
either individuals or platform ex
pression which might influence the
minds of the men whose votes will
ultimately decide both. N
Wants Progressive Platform.
"I hope and believe that the plat
form to be adopted at San Francisco
will be more progressive and clearer
in understanding than that enunciat
ed by the republicans at Chicago.
The character of the men who will
sit as delegates in the San Francisco
convention should be sufficient guar
antee that the issues upon which the
campaign is to be fought will be met
with definite and concrete state
ments and not cloudy and ambigu
ous terms as was the case in the
Chicago convention.
"The republican convention," he
added, "was the apotheosis of reac
tion. It was the direct antithesis of
what I hope the democratic conven
tion will turn out to be. The lead
ers, who call themselves progressive
and who pretend to speak for the
progressive clement in the repub
lican party, sacrificed every 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 ful
filling their honest obligations to 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 convention with an ob
ject lesson in this direction that will
not be overlooked."
President Wilson also declined to
discuss in detail the subject of pro
hibition, woman suffrage or the high
cost of living. He expressed the
opinion that the party leaders "will
provide a platform sufficiently broad,
progressive, liberal, just and thor
oughly democratic to convince the
people of the country of the com
plete honesty of the democratic pur
pose and of the difference between
it and the republican party."
Labor Chief Beaten

$60 per week and their traveling al
lowance from $6 to $8 per day.
This was declared to be necessary
owing to the high cost of living.
The convention called uprn con
gress to enact "necessary legislation
to establish the United States em
ployment service as a permanent
bureau in the Department of Labor
vith ample appropriations."
The executive council was in
structed to render all possible as
sistance to "abolish present unrea
sonable speed tests, time measuring
devices and the unreasonable stand
ards of personal efficiency in the
postal service."
The council will also aid civil ser
vice employes to obtain "the right to
a hearing and to appeal from the
judgment of officials in cases in
volving demotion or dismissal. "
The federation adopted a decision
that the "rights of free speech and
free press and assembly are inalien
able and are beyond the power of
any judge, court, legislative body or
administration official to qualify,
modify, abrogate or suspend."
Duncan Proposal Beaten.
The proposal of James Duncan oi
Seattle for an "initiative and refer
endum" clause in the federation's
constitution was defeated after a
lively debate. The proposal would
have permitted the submission of
any "given proposition to the whole
membership ' of the organization
upon demand of 5 per cent of the
local unions.
Military training in the schools
was condemned as "the first step in
the development of mechanical and
unquestioning obedience which re
sults in the killing of initiative.''
Compulsory military training was
also declared "unnecessary, undesir
able and un-American."
The "moral support" of the federa
tion was voted to the 10,000 striking
fur workers 'in New York City.
The membership of the executive
council was ordered increased from
11 to IS members, by the addition of
four new vice presidents.
A resolution to elect the officers
of the federation by "popular vote
of the membership" was defeated.
