announcement Of his conversion. there
were intimations Of his change Of heart
and an effort was made to convey the
impression to the country that if any
real preparedness were to be achieved
it would come through plan to be out
lined by the President. Again the Pub
lie mind was wrought up to a high
pitch Of interest and the public anx-
iously awaited the announcement Of his
program.
Disappointment and criticism came
from all parts of the country when
the program was finally announced.
The plan was as unsatisfactory to the
advocates Of preparedness as to the OPP
ponents. 1t was declared to be imprac-
ticable on the one hand, and unneces-
sary on the other. If the press agents
Of the White House had expended their
energies in framing satisfactory poll
cy rather than attempting to picture
President Wilson as the only real au-
thority on the subject, some good might
have been accomplished. but in placing
publicity ahead of preparedness they
did the administration more harm than
good.
Naturally, Democrats who are anx-
ious to see the party continued in pow
er are considerably disguised with the
management Of publicity at the White
House.

Naturally against the scarcity due to the war; has

this silence Indicated doubt to the ability of the
American agrcuturst to learn easily the European
