PRESIDENT WILSON
(Continued from Page One)

the suffragists that trump caro- was "
he PLAYED A tremendous fight is prom
ised The news OF the PRESIDENTS action
came as a complete surprise to nearly
everybody in the capital, though some or
the suffrage leaders have insisted 1or
long time that the President was with
them and would tell anybody who asked
him. Until now in all public utterances
the President has held TO the view tha1
suffrage was a question 10 be determined
by the individual and not by federal ac-
ton.
No statement was forthcoming from the
White House tonight to explain his pres
ent stand, Members OF Congress who
participated in the conference, however.
said the President told them he still be-
lieved that the proper and orderly way
of dealing with the question was to per-
nit each state to take its own action, but
in view of conditions now ,Slsting m the
United States and the world generally he
felt free to advise submission of feder-
al amendment to.the states.
/ In emphasizing this view he is said to
have declared that the United States as a
leader in the great family OF nations cam
not disassociate itself from the family
and cannot be reactionary on any great
world question.
When his caller talked of the state
rights issue the President is said tC
nave told them that he did not feel that
complicated the situation at all; tina,
suffrage was a policy and not prlncl-
pie. He pointed out that the Federal
Constitution now deals with the quail
qualification of those entitled to vote
for members of Congress.
] Representative Taylor spoke to the
! President of the King of Belgium's ad-
| Vocacy of woman suffrage, of how Eng
| land was pledged to it and probably
France. The President said the Cover
nor General of Canada, who had lunch.
con with him today, told him Canada
was going TO have woman suffrage.
Any member of Congress opposed tt
| woman suffrage under any circum
stances, the President said, ought not
to vote other than his convictions, bu
his own opinion was that this was the
time to vote for the amendment.
