Scores Wilson's Secret Moves.
Keep in mind that this was before
the President had taken the American
people into his confidence. II Is I'M
fortunately significant that on the
day OF the visit Of Sir Lionel Garden
to the White House announcement
had been made OF the Presidents in
tention to send TO Congress a mes
sage urging repeal. although tolls
were not discussed. That mystery
surrounds all these negotiations and
private interviews is the fault OF no
one but the Chief Executive, because
OF his lack of franIsness.

dropped? why il arbitration as aug-
gested BY Sir Edward Grey in his
note Of November IL. 1919, not con-
sidered? IN that note he declared
that his maJesty's government. rec

provisions Of the act do not infringe

the United States is bound, and un-
der these circumstances they This
majesty's government desire TO state
their perfect readiness to submit the
question to arbitration.
"A year ago was informed upon
the most reliable authority that al the

the Senate there was every prospect

without consullation with the Presi-

"In joint session we listened most
attentively and respectfully TO the
reading BY the President Of his spe-
cial message. Like the Oracle Of
Delphi, the language Of this remark :
able message has been interpreted a
hundred ways to suit the necessities
Of the occasion in converting doubt
ing members.
In the diplomatic gallery on that
historic day sat the Secretary OF
state, Perhaps he understood. At
least. he approved, for. bowling and
smiling, he applauded his chief as he
urged an abandonment Of the Amer

contention. rlas there ever been such
spectacle in American history

world there Is afforded another ex-

WASHINGTON March IS. No one
who boasts Of but a single day In
town can pretend to tell the whole
Washington story. There are some
matters. however, which lie too open
" obvious to escape even the eve
latest and most casual In its Capitol
advent. That Wilson's House maJor-
ity Of only 2s, when 100 as a possible
minimum had been confidently looked
forward %. was q shot between wind
and water for the Administration,
also because OF Il there Is among our
administrationlsts much cursing. de-
nouncing and gnashing OF teeth.
The Administration Is anRered
against Speaker Clark. They say,
too, that the white House horns are
most threateningly lowered in that
siatesnan's direction. The Wilson
men declare that MIR. Clark Is split
tins the party. IN this they set the
cart before the horse. Mr.. Wilson,
not Mr.. Clark. Is splitting the party.
Who ls Party Rebel?
The Wilsonites speak OF Mr.. clark
az a party rebel. In what fashion ii
he a reb? What said the Baltimore
platform, which Mr.. Wilson accepted
and Mr.. Bryan-just now keeping
himself "chautauqua- wise, In touch
with the people" tickets % cents
largely drew Didn't II declare for
free tolls for coastwise ships? The
intelligent In looking for party rebels
will md one In Mr.. Wilson, and not
IN Mr., Clark
Mr. Wilson's pro English policy viii
be ultimately ditched. His high
water mark OF power was reached Ia
that meager House majority OF 80.
Every ballot TO follow will show the
Wilson influence beautifully less. Mr..
Wilson and his pro- English policy are
in for drubbinR.
After one year OF Mr. Wilson, his
cuckoo went singing OF how "he
could make Congress eat out Of his
hama" he was the matches lead.

The Situation Shifts.
These extravagances were based
upon Congress having done in tariff
end currency and income tax what
Mr. Wilson recommended
Mr. Wilson's fiatterers ia their IN
cense buring never stopped 70 reflect
that as TO tnriff and currency and In
come tax. Mr. Wilson had but recon-
mended what Congress intended TO
DO In this affair OF the canal the sit
uhtion has shifted. Mr.. Wilson comes
recommending that which Congress
instructed from home IN the daily
rate Of a ton or two OF letters--csn

them no more will his courtiers tell
how Congress eats out Of his hand"
You express amazement at Presi
dent Wilson's leaning toward the
English. Have you forgotten Mr.
Wilson's exceedingly English estimate
OF General Washington Wasn't it
in an 1897 copy of The Atlantic
Monthly that Mr.. Wilson printed how
Washington wasn't so much a patriot
as cheap peddler Of real estata9
There are those who insist that Mr.,
Wilson, during his candidational
days, stated that he was heart and
soul for a free canal. They can not
understand--they say--how. IN view
OF such a record, he can now be
calling for the death of a free canal
Others, commenting tauntingly upon
II, ask:
what should you expect?"
Wilson Record Is Cited.
Who more they demand-than Mr.
Wilson has blown first hot and then
oold7 They quote his turncoat rec
ord In 1901 He teaches the youth OF
Princeton that the recall, the initia-
tive and the referendum are but the
wiles Of some Satan OF politics. and
Ave years later he announces--the
scales having fallen from his eyes---he
sees clearly how those proposed re-
forms are the one best hope Of
democracy Also he gives his word
that without them no republic may
hope to safely keep house.
Then there was that begging for a
Carnegie pension and Mr.. Wilson's
cutstretched eagerness, while de-
nouncing protectionists as criminals
and protection as crime. TO feather
his nest with the yellow plumage Of
protection. These are but examples,
they insist. OF the ease wherewith
Mr.. Wilson could and would turn
his coat.
