Ignoring OF United States Senate and
Isolation Grave Faults.
London, Jan. 13.-America's absence
at the general peace ratification cere-
monies in Paris Saturday brought a
revival OF bitter comment In certain
quarters against President Wilson.
The presidents critics heap upon his
shoulders the responsibility for most Of
Europe's troubles and add that the
foundation for these was laid In the
presidents course at Paris
Among the most severe Of the fresl,
outbreaks AGAINST Wilson is found In
an interview with Lord Greenwood,
published in the London Observer.
The, present situation said Charn-
wood. us almost entirely due to Presi-
dent Wilson's course during the peace
conference He appears to have taken
scarcely any pains to get In touch with
the United States senate or the leading
people in either party, except his own
personal friends. His conduct now
greatly increases the feeling OF his arr
bitrarlness and desire for Isolated pow
er. Having ACQUIRED a reputation as
somewhat self. centered individual who
did not readily take counsel with men
Iof his own standing, Wilson has been
doing everything 70 make the people
critical and anxious"
Lord ChArnwood assorted that the
United States senate feels, under the
circumstances. that the important fea-
ture Of American constitutional liber-
ties s In serious danger by acceptance
OF the treaty at orders from Wilson. ;,
Harold Cox, writing In the Sunday
