the hostility of the population.

Mr. Wilson's departure from the coun-

man severely criticized the President
for his decision to attend the peace
conference. He declared the trip was
unjustified, constituted "a grave men
ace" and might cause "insidious mis-
chief"

the Presidents course and suggested
the purpose of the Presidents critics
was to make political capital out OF

House, issued statement declaring
that factional strife should not be per
mitted to interfere with the Presi
dents mission.
