President Has New
Defense for Repeal.

WASHINGTON Marcn 5o.-Presi-
dent Wilson is certain that the tolls
repeal debate will not split the Demo-
cratic party and that his fight for the
repeal will not be defeated.
He stated to-day that his chief re-
greet in connection with the debate
was that what promised to be a dig
nified contest had degenerated into an
attempt to discredit the Administra-
tion. He characterized Representa-
tive Knowlands speech, in which it
was charged that the President had
made deal with the British Govern
ment, as the GROWING insult of a
number of insults in the debate. All
of the acrmony shown against the
Administration only makes more Ger
tain the result, the President declared
to his callers.
The Chief Executive to-day also
took new ground in advocating a poll
icy which his advocates say is in
violation of the Baltimore PLATFORM
l lie tIeSlueHl points Out lHdl lIle Bdl-
timore platform contained two planks,
one Of them reiterating the long
standing principle of the Democratic
party against ship subsidies or sub
sides of any sort, and the other ar
firming the tolls exemption policy.
The President declared there was no
question in his mind that free tolls is
a subsidy of the clearest type, and
that. therefore, it violates not only a
plank in the Baltimore platform
which takes precedence over the
other. but well tablished Demo-
cratic policy
One Of the proofs of where the
Democratic party really stood on the
question of tolls lies in the fact that
a ma jority of the Democrats in the
House voted against the tolls ex
emption bill when it was passed orig
inally, the President said.

proven, that Great Britain is not the
friend of this country, except when
the advantage Of that friendship lies
with Great Britain. Great Britain is
the greatest bulldozer of history"
Representative Doremus declared
that soon as the Panama law was
passed sentiment against the exemp-
ton Of American ships from tolls was
manufa ctured through the country.
The Carnegie Peace Endowment
was also attacked by the Michigan
Congressman.
"A representative of this institu-
ton has testified before the Senate
Lobby Investigate n Committee that
it was the business of the associ4
ton to help straighten things out,
said Doremus.
Sandbagged Secretary.
But that was the business of the
Secretary of State. While he was
trying to straighten things out in a
way that would comport with the dig
nifty and honor of the United States,
this self constituted guardian of the
national honor was sandbagging its
efforts by vigorously upholding the
British view"
Representative Mondell, Republican,
of Wyoming, said while he believed
that the free tolls policy is eeonomi-
eally unwise. he could not vote for
the repeal under the conditions ere
ated by the Presidents demand.
Il decline to give adherence to q
policy OF apology and surrender" he
said. "on demand to every Govern
ment. great or small, with which we
have a controversy
Representative Montague, OF Vir-
ginia. an Administration supporter.
referring to the Baltimore platform,
declared in favor of tolls. He said.
Platform Conflicting.
The platform is conflicting. In one
plank we declare against subsidies
and in another plank we declare in
favor of this free tolls subsidy. 1t
then devolves upon US to take one or
the other plank AS for myself, pre-
fer to accept the time honored Demo-
cratic doctrine against subsidies of all
kinds In addition. 1t is indisputable
that the free tolls clause is in viola =
ton of our solemn treaty obligation"

Phi DELTA ANNIvERsARy

The Phi Delta Literary Society,
the oldest student organization in

Anniversary in the Chapel Satur-
day night. The program was an in
ttresting one and drew large au-
dience. Each Of the speakers show
ed decided ability and force but IL
was evident that the idea Of the
great Anniversary exercises Of our
literary societies, that the speakers
should be appointed in the Spring
Term and procure seasoned" prep
aration through the long summer
vacation, had not been carried out.

gram Of high literary exercises af-
ter the beginning of the Fall term.
v Mr.. Harrell Hoagland's opening
address was full Of cordial, enthu-
siastic welcome and contained
thoughts worthy of more careful
expression. The Twentieth Centu-
ny Man, by Mr.. Stanley Engle, show
ed considerable reading and was
worthy OF attention. The Quartet
added materially TO the interest OF
the evening. Mr. John Branson's
production, The Symmetrical Life,
was full Of good sound philosophy.
The extemporaneous speeches, by
Messrs. Thomas Frye, Arleigh Grif-
fin. and John Asher, were novel
feature and showed the native abil-
ity Of the speakers to good advan-
tage. The violin solo, by Mr.. Es-
lyle Hanson, with Miss Florence

suasive appeal 10 sieze the oppOr-
tunities Of q liberal education in

with a good delivery, made this a
striking number Of the program.

program with a more polished pro-
duction which closed with an ap-
