REPLY TO HIS CRITICS
Defends Lecture Work While on Va,
cation-Says He Saved $4,000
Year From Addresses.

Washington, July lin a formal
statement issued Tuesday by Secre-
tary of State Bryan in reply to attacks
made by critics of his lecture tours to
meet expenses, the Nebraskan said
that he has been saving $4,000 year
as a result of these lectures, but that
for the present he did not expect to
lay aside nything-although he did
not want a deficit. And at any rate"
he added, lin addition to supplement-
ing my salary, hope that my lectures
do good. People who attend them
would not do so unless they received
their moneys worth"
His statement follows:
Il am glad to have the criticism
brought to my attention. | believe in
criticism OF public officials. Criticism
is helpful. If a man makes a mistake,
criticism enables him to correct it; If
he is unjustly criticised. the criticism
helps him. l have had my share Of
criticism since l have been in public
life, but it has not prevented my doing
what l thought proper to do.
I'm devCting a part of my vacation
10 iecturing, l am doing what l believe
to be proper, and l have no fear what
ever that any unbiased person will
critcise me when he knows the facts.
For seventeen years the sources OF
my income have been writing and lee
turing, but each year l have made
more public speeches without compen-
sation and where l have paid my own
travelling expenses than have where
compensation was received. My earn
ing capacity has been large, and have
made not only an income sufficient for
my immediate needs but have saved on
an average something more than S10,-
geo a year. In accepting the office
which ] now hold gave up the oppor-
tunity to add to my accumulations, for
l DO not expect to increase during my
term the amount / have laid aside
that is, ! am willing to forego what
ever advantage ] might derive from
the acquiring Of $4,000 more for the
privilege Of serving the country in this
Office during the coming four years.
