Bryan Replies to Wilson Speech
on Preparedness


Secretary Bryan came out square
ay against President Wilson's
National defense plan today in a
formal statement in which\ \he
took issue with the Presidents
views as expressed last night be
fore the Manhattan Club in New
York.
"A departure from our tradi-
tions; a reversal of our National
policy, menace to our peace
and safety and a challenge to the
spiritof Christianity which teach
es us to influence Others by ex.
ample rather than by exciting
fear" IS Mr.. Bryan's view of the
National defence plans.
The former Secretary of States
statement. which reiterates views
ne has previously expressed on
the subject of preparedness for
war, was regarded as the opened
Rua in the fight which Admins
trAtion leaders expect in Con
gress against adoption of the
plan. Bt. Bryan's statement says:
Il have read the Presidents
speech at New York with sor

what he believes to be his duty
and so long as a man follows his
conscience, and Judgment we
cannot criticise his motives, but
we may be compelled to dissent
from his conclusions. l feel it
my duty to dissent, and, as he
has given his views with clear
mess and emphasis those who
'dHter from him are under a like
obligation to express themselvesi
with equal clearness.

is free to speak his own thouehss1
and risk his own opinion. This
is a little obscure. Inj
so Tar as he expresses his own
he does not differ from
the private citizen except that he
speaks under a sense Of officiall
responsibility, but where a Nal
uaon's fate is involved in policy
every private citizen who loves
his country and tries to serve it
is conscious of responsibility.
The President will not assume
that he is more deeply interested
in the welfare of his country
than the millions who elected
him to be for the time being
their spokesman. And if, as he
evidently believes. he is giving
voice to the opinions of his
countrvmen, he is, of course,
anxious to have them as frank
with him as ne has been with
hem-how otherwise can heI
know whether he represents or
misrepresents their views.
He has announced a policy
which has never before beer
adopted in this country and
never endorsed by any party in
the country and he has no way
of knowing, until he hears from
the people, whether he has cor
Iectlp interpreted the will of the
public. His appeal is not to any
party, but as he says, to men of
all shades of opinion He asks
for the hearty support of the
country, meaning, of course,
that he wants the support, pro

icy which he has outlined. He
could not, of course, ask them to
support a policy which they did
not endorse, especially if they
considered the policy dangerou; {;
