Jennings Bryan, three times Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
of the United States and author OF
nearly thirty peace treaties with the
principal nations of the world. re-
signed today as secretary of state as
a dramatic sequel to his disagree
ment with President Wilson over the
governments policy toward Ger
many.
The resignation was accepted by
the President. The cabinet then ap-
proved the response which had been
prepared to the German reply to the
Lusitania note. Acting Secretary
: Robert Lansing will sign the docu-
ment and tomorrow it will be cabled
to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan will return to pri-
vate life tomorrow, when his resig-
nation takes effect. 1t was learned
that he intends to continue his politi-
u.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possibly
draw the United States into war, Mr..
Bryan submitted his resignation in a
letter declaring that "the issue in
volved is of such moment that to re-
main a member of the cabinet would
be as unfair to you as 1t would be to
the cause which Is nearest my heart,
namely, the prevention of war"
The President accepted the resig-
nation in a letter Of regret, tinged
with deep personal feeling of affec-
tion. The letters, constituting the
official announcement of Mr.. Bryap's
departure from the cabinet to pri-
vate life, were made public at the
White House at o'clock tonight.
Secretary Bryan's letter OF resi:y-
nation was as follows:
MY dear Mr.. President:
"It is with sincere regret that
have reached the conclusion that
sould return to you the commission
of secretary of state with which you
honored me ut the beginning of your
administration.
"Obedient I your sense Of duty
and actuated by the highest motives,
you have prepared for transmission
to the German government a note in
which / cannot join without violating
what / deem to be an obligation to
my country and the issue involved is
OF such moment that to remain
member of the cabinet would be as
cause which is nearest my heart,
namely, the prevention of war.
Il therefore. respectfully tender
my resignation. to take effect when
the note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirious of
reaching a peaceful solution OF the
problems arising out of the use of
submarines against merchantmen, we
find ourselves differing irreconciliably
as to the methods which should be
employed.
1T falls to your lot to speak Off
cially for the nation I consider 1t
to be none the less my duty to en-
deavor as a private citizen to pro-
mote the end which you have in
view by means which you do not feel
at liberty to use.
I'm severing the intimate and
pleasant relations which have exist
ed between us during the past two
years. permit me to acknowledge the
profound satisfaction which 1t has
given me to be associated with you
IN the important work which has
come before the state department,
and to thank you for the courtesies
extended.
with the heartiest good wishes
for your personal welfare and for the |
success OF your administration, am, I
my dear Mr.. President,
Very truly yours.
