May Be Opening Gun

The former secretary of states
statement which reiterates views he
has previously expressed on the sub
Ject of preparedness for war. was
regarded as the opening gun in the
fight which administration leaders ex-
pect in Congress against adoption Of
the plan. Mr.. Bryan's statement says:
I have read the Presidents speech
at New York with sorrow and con-
Germ. He is doing what he believes to
be his duty and so long as q man
follows his conscience and Judgment
we cannot criticize his motives, but
We may be compelled to dissent from
his conclusions. 1 feel it my duty to
dissent and as he has given his views
with clearness and emphasis, those
who differ from him are under a like
obligation to express themselves with
equal clearness.
He says that his position is differ
ent from that of the private individual
in that the individual is free to speak
his own thoughts and risk his own
opinion. This sentence is a little OBJ
scure. In so far as he expressed his
own opinion. he does not differ from
the private citizenship except that ne
speaks under a sense of official re-
sponsibility. but where a nations fate
is involved in policy every private
citizen who loves his country and tries
to sere it is conscious Of responsible
ity. 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 country
men, he is. of course, anxioSs to have
them as frank with him as he has
been with them-how otherwise can
ne know whether he represents or
mlsrepresents their views.
He has announced a policy which has
never before been adopted in this coun-
try and never endorsed by any party in
the country, and he has not way OF
knowing, until he hears from the people
whether he has correctly interpreted the
Will OF the public. His appeal is not to
any party, but. as he says. to men of all
shades of opinion I"
From my view of the subject the Man
which he proposes is not only a departure
from our traditions. but a reversal of
our national policy. 1t is not only a men
ace to our peace and safety. but a chal-
lenge to the spirit Of Christianity, which
teaches US to influence others by exam
pie rather than by exciting fear.

be prepared not for aggression but for

nation has ever prepared for war on the
theory that it was preparing for aggres-
sion? 1t Is only fair to assume that the
European rulers who are involved in the
present war thought that they were con-
tributing toward the maintenance OF
peace when they were making elaborate
preparations for defence It is a false
philosophy and, being false. it inevitably

Washington, Nov 5.-Former Secre-

President Wilson's national defense
plan today in a formal statement.
"A departure from our traditions;
a reversal Of our national policy, a

challenge to the spirit of Christian
ity which teaches US to influence 9TH
ers by example rather than by excit-
ing fear" is Mr.. Bryan's view Of the
national defense plans, as set forth
by the President in his speech last
night at the dinner of the Manhattan
