CRANE ON WILSON.

There has been great deal Of discussion 0
war and peace and presidential positions comm,
out of the University of Michigan, written D,
professors of political economy or science or his
tory. And most of it is IN opposition to Presl
dent Wilson's expressed views. Much of it ha
to do with the fourteen peace terms, which ar
ripped into tatters by college professors both IL
Michigan and elsewhere. of most of whom, i
chances, the average citizen never before heard
There was one professor who has taken 1t upo1
himself in times past to criticize the Preslden
openly and honestly. He attacked the views O.
Woodrow Wilson from the Mevican question
down. That was Prof. Robert 7. Crane, of the
political science chair in the University of Michi
gon. Now Professor Crane has come out with
new statement, as follows:
have disapproved of President Wilson's
methods consistently, only to find that his
methods have brought about stupendously
beneficial results for this country and the
world at large, said Professor Crane. 81
thought his Mexican policy was almost un
sufferable. But that policy has made all
South and Central America friendly to us.
The Latin republics viewed the United
States with suspicion. They feared and
dislked us. The much advertised Root mis-
sion failed to change this feeling.
president Wilson, by refusing to bully
Mexico, and by giving Mexico every chance
to regulate it's own affairs, convinced the
South Americans that the United States
really believed in the doctrine of self-deter-
mination of peoples and that we could be
trusted not to pursue any policy of aggres
sion against the nations on our side of the
world.
And now he comes forward with his
plan to attend the peace conference On the
face Of it, it is violation of the spirit of
the Constitution, and contrary otthe wishes
of the people Of the United States.
But President Wilson's policies have
demonstrated their far-sightedness so often
that | hesitate to condemn this latest move
A league of nations is so indisputably neces-
sary to the welfare of the world that if it is
true that Wilson's presence at the peace
conference will help its realization in any
way feel he should go, no matter at what
cost"
All of which is handsome expression on
the part of Professor Crane, which will be re-
ceived with acclaim by all fair-minded persons,
whether or not they agree with him. 1t is quite
possible that when the peace conference is over
we will be able to wipe away some reservations
that have persisted in our minds about the
Presidents trip to France.
