GLOWING TRIBUTE PAID
"AMATEUR", DIPLOMATS
Europe, as a Result of War Wrought
by Her Professionals, Envies Us,
Congressman Says.

Representative Gallivan, of Massachu-
setts. in the course of the debate on the
war revenue law yesterday, paid glitter
ing tribute to the amateur diplomacy OF
the United States in comparison with
the professional diplomacy of Europe.
Mr. Gallivan said:
The professional diplomacy OF Europe
has wrought blunder so colossal that no
living man can reckon its remote conse-
quences. Will II net loose the repressed
fanaticlsm Of Africa and the near East?
Will il bring Asia down upon the back
of an exhausted and divided Europe?
These are possibilities already discussed.
And even il the equilibrium OF the whole
human race is not to be upset, the imme-
diate result of the intriguers' handiwork
must have Mortified themselves II they
have any human feeling under the mask
of professional calm.
"In this weller of barbarous passion
this country will note with satisfaction
that the names OF Americas so-caIled un-
trained diplomats emerged with honor.
"A James A. Gerard. a Myron T. Her
rick, a Brand Whitlock and many moIe
have proved themselves equal TO the
emergencies which have confronted them
and won the respect of the country to
which they are credited That amused
Europe of which we heard so much en-
vies US our tranquility"

Illinois, voted with the Democrats, but
there was no break in the Republican
negative phalanx.
Representative Fordney. of Michigan,
Republican, launched an attack on the
sugar schedule of the Underwood Sim
mons tariff law. charging that IL protec-
ton had not been taken away from the
beet sugar producers of the United
States, the decrease in the revenues
claimed by the Democrats as an accident
of the European war would never have
arisen.
Representative Foss Of Ohio, Republi-
can. attacked the general principle of
tariff for revenue only. and asserted that
the Democratic party was engaging in
hysterical performances over an eXigency
in American finance and business which
did not exist

ments favoring the passage of the meas

BREADS ANY MISUNDERSTANDING

President Wilson yesterday declined to
permit the Democrats of New Jersey
to indorse him for a second term. He
believes that such an Endorsement might
look as II he were taking advantage
OF the extraordinary situation now exist

through such an expression Of confidence
by them"
He directed his secretary. J. P. Tu-
multy, to write a letter to Edward E.
Grosscup, State treasurer of New Jersey.
outlining his views on the matter. The
letter follows:
My Dear Grosscup:
You were generous
enough to consult me as to whether the
Democrats of New Jersey should at this
time indorse the President for a second
term. had a talk with the President
about II and he deeply appreciates the
generosity of the suggestion. bat New
Jersey is his own State, the men who
would act in this matter are his own
personal friends, and he feels that IT
might seem as IL he were taking advan-
tage of the extraordinary situation now
existing to gain some personal advantage
through such an expression Of confidence
by them. This would be inconsistent
with his whole thought and spirit and he
shrinks from 1t as from something that
would embarrass rather than help him.
He feels confident that you will know
the spirit in which he says this and that
in urging the Democrats Of New Jersey
not to do this he is not abatlng in the
least his deep appreciation.
Very sincerely yours.
