You asked me II business men arc
against Wilson. and I deny II" said
Mr.. Morgenthau. with emphasis
Some business men may be against
hira-those who have been stripped
OF privileges they have come TO be-
iieve were theirs Of right But the
spleen OF the business tyTant VINO
finds himself Invested of his unjust
powers and ts compelled to deal with
his contemporaries on Just ana
equitable basis. Is far from repre-
sent!ng the honest sentiment OF the
American business man. The banker
the merchant, the manufacture, the
traaesmen generally, who pursue their
vacations In legitimate lines and do
not seek TO win their profits by OPP
pressivs IN Methods are not against WI
son. I firmly believe that they are
with him They must be with him,
for the average American business
man is patriotic and Intelligent, and
LIS not OF a class to be stampsded by
the outcrtes OF a selfish few"
Wilson's Foreign Policies
How about WILSON'S foreign poll

What sane American would have
them changed? They have kept us
at peace while the world Is at war;
they have strengthened as in honor
and justice while other nations wran-
gle as TO which shall bear the burden
OF a great shame,

It's dssolation. and I rejoice as an
American that we have had q Prest-

States from a reckless, wanton plunge
into the whirlpool OF death There
are times when We should fight but
what redress have we had to secure
that Wilson has not obtained by peace
full means? He has won each con-
tention with the belligerents of Eu
rope. and in winning has upheld in
ternauonal law and bulwarked civil
cation Those blinded partisan foes
Of Wilson who seek to make the
diplomatic correspondence OF tho
President a subject of Jest are fritter-
Ing away their time in foolish pur-
suite The diplomacy Of Wilson com
rnands the respect of the world.
| Against the clamoring of Next
oan concessionarles he has stood as
firm as against the clAInor of the
naturaiized citizens who place their
native land above America. He has
refused to purchase dividends with
blood OF American youth; he has re-
fused to take advantage Of Mexico's
distress. by seizure OF Mexican terri
tory; he has refused to lend the great
weight of American strength toward
the restoration OF the tyrannies against
which the Mexican people Lave beer
