contradiction, he said. policy OF
dishonorable inaction, Is his sweeping
indictment OF the Presidents course
The statement says In part:
"At the outset President Wilson,
speaking OF the war. says; We have
stond apart, studiousiy neutral. II was
our manifest duty to do So rurther

national development. We do more
Than that. We demand II also Tor

"VVhat does Mr.. Wilson mean when
I'm one line he says that we have
stood apart, studiously neutral be-
cause It was our, manifest duty 70 90
so. and a couple of paragraphs later
SAYS that we demand security IN
prosecuting their Belf-ohosen lines OF
national development for othersT He
can take either of the two positions,
but he cannot take both. Did or did
not MFR. Wilson demand security for
Belgium TO 'prosecute tts Belt-chosen
lines of national development He
knows he did not. Then what does
he mean by saying that we demand
this security also for otheFsF Again,
he says that he regards war as a
means of asserting the rights of q
people against aggression. and yet
he says that5H VAS our duty to re-
main studlouRly neutral when Bel
gium asserted the rights Of her peo-
pie by war against the aggression OF
Germany
"DishonOrabIe InactiOn."
''How does he reconcile these two
statements? He cannot do 80. He Is
using words to cover a policy OF dis
honorable tnaction. Again, he says
that we are 'fierceIy Jealous of ag-
gression from without How did he
show his fierce Jealousy as regards
the aggressions on the LusitanIa and
Ancona, which resulted in the loss OF
several scores and the jeopardy of
hundreds OF American lives? How
has he shown his fierce jealousy as
regards the sixty or seventy soldiers
wearing the American uniform, not to
speak of the women and children and
civilians. killed or wounded on Amer
ican soil by Mexican bullets? One
symptom OF hts fierce jealousy' 20

was the issuing of an order that our

order as herce jealousyT It does not
strike any other human being as such.
'Pitiless Publicity"
Three years ago Mr.. Wilson said
he believed in the policy Of 'pitiIess
publicity We have never had as Sc
cretive an Administration. The exact
numbers Of the soldiers of the United
States army who have been killed OF
wounded by MeNcRns cannot be told
because Mr.. Wilson won't permit the
figures to be made public. Neither is
/ It possible to ascertain the exact num-
bers of the American men, women and

because Mr.; Wilson for three years has
| numbered all publicity, pitiless or pitiful

J Wilson's elocuion and Mr.. Wilson's ac-
/ ton are In flat contradiction. His elocu-
