his hearers not to stay mirth among

that IL this Is done "the boys and

Wilson Explains Tariff Plank in His
Fourteen Peace Terms.

Washington. Oct. 2s.-President
Wilson replied today to Republican
contentious that the third of his four
teen peace terms Is a free trade plank
by explaining that in demanding the
removal of economic barriers he
meant to suggest no restriction upon
internal economic policies, but only
that whatever tariff, high or low. any
nation might deem necessary, it
should apply equally to all foreign ma
tions.
The president made the explanation
in a letter to Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee, who had writ
ten him asking for a statement be
cause certain Republican leaders are
attempting to make partisan use of the
paragraph.
Weapons of economic discipline
and punishment" the president wrote,
should be left to the Joint action of
all nations for the purpose of punish
ing those who will not submit to a
general program of justice and equal
ity.''
He added that to inject, the DOGGY of
free trade, which is not involved at
all, was to attempt to divert the mind
of the nation from a broad principle
OF durable peace. and that it was
lamentable that momentous issues of
this solemn hour should be seized
upon in an effort to bend them to par
