going outside the country was violat-
ing traditions that have existed since
George Washington time.
"The people of this republic are en-
titled to the personal presence of their
president" Sherman continued. (" His
absence for many weeks in distant
land warrants passage of the resolu-
tion.N
Sherman also said that TIE court re-
ception in every country to be visited
by the president and the homage he
would be sure to receive was a danger
Gus thing for the head Of a republic.
''The courteous smile and the bend
cd knee Of sycophant has often eSz-
broiled a nation into entangling alli-
ances and the kiss of dissolute wo-
man has been known to change the
course OF an empire. Let us not sub

Sherman declared that in case of a
great national emergency, there would
be no one in authority to order out
troops and that other emergencies were
likely to arise that would necessitate
the presence of some one with full
power to act.
Nonsense Says Williams
"All talk about loss of sovereign

"For the safeguarding OF those aims,
the first essential is a definite under
standing that the same necessity aris-
ing in the future, there shall be the
same complete accord and cooperation
with our chief co-belligerents for the
defense of civilization.
"Any project for any general lea
que of nations for any sweeping change
in the ancient laws of the sea hitherto
recognized as International law and
violated by the Teutonie powers, should
be postponed for separate considera-
ton, not alone by the victorious bellig-
erents but by all the nations. if at
some future time general conferences
on those subjects might be deemed use
full.
Immediately upon compliance with
the terms of the armistice and the gdar
anteed attainment of the war aims as
aforesaid, the army and navy of the
United States should be withdrawn
from foreign territories and waters ex-
cept insofar as their retention might
be temporarily necessary to establish
the status contemplated by the armis-
tice.
