among these professional jobhunters and
jobholders because they did not seem
worthy of refutaton. But it is amazing
to find Mr.. Wilson echoing and enlarg-
ing upon their babble in formal pronun-
ciamento to the nation. The only pOssi-
BILE explanation must be that in an un-
guarded or irritated moment he has been
misled into adopting this falsehood by
certain of those self-seeking counselors
who are ever at the elbow of a great
man.
How could Europe believe that the
election Of Republican majority in the
House or Senate would weaken the de-
termination Of the American people to
see the President through the war to a
victory and a just peace, when the leading
Republicans in ana out Of Congress were
in favor of defeating Germany before he
had made up his mind even to the needs
of prepa redness or to alignment on the
side Of the Entente Allies or to demand
ing redress for the horrors inflicted upon
humanity in the guise of Belgium? 1t
was these same Republicans who were
denouncing with righteous Indignation
the rape of Belgium when Mr.. Wilson
was still urging the nation to be neutral
in thought rs well as in action. The
public has not forgotten the Democratic
refrain in 19l6-"He kept US out Of war"
