Wilson'S CRITICS
SCORED BY COLBY
Says Postwar Situation
Treated Only as II Bears
on Candidates.

NEW YORK. May 1.-Secretary OF
State cambridge Colby made a de-
feHso OF President Wilson before the
Press Cub tonight. after declaring
that the great issues Of the war are
still undetermined SO far az we are
concerned. and that st Is hardly All
exaggeratioh' to say that there is not
an aspect Of the postwar situation
that is not approached. discussed and
treated primarily in its bearing upon
somebody's candidacy" Mr.. Colby con-
tinued.
Says Attacks Fail Utterly.
''of one thing evidence abounds or
every side and that 10 tho utter fail.
ure Of the enyenomed and impassion.
ed attack upon the President. For
months this attack has been pushed
with every device known to malice
and with all the resources Of scurril-
ity and hatred. Long. sad and dreary
months they have been to the great
and lonely man in the White House
who has been struggling back tc
health and the service Of his people
from beneath the weight Of Q griev.
ious affection.
mo word of protest has come from
him; no sign that he WINGED or that
he suffered. His envious detractors
like ravening wolves. have bounded
him necessarily by day and by night
but they have done nothing else. They
have not affected the American people
and they have not cowed OF bent the
valiant spirit Of the American Presi-
dent"
Declares Country for League.
Mr.. Colby said this country be-
lieves in a league Of nations and that
it has SO declared in unmistakable
terms over and over again. "It in
sists." he said. that there shall be
some effort made. even If it be only
an experiment, to inaugurate system
in the world which shall preclude a
recurrence Of the devastating war from
which we have just emerged"
The United States is vitality con-
cerned in controversies that may
arise between other nations. said Mr..
Colby. and 1t is faulty to pretend
that we are not interested in such
controversies SO long as they may
issue in a confagration that Gan
swiftly envelop this country.
Former Ambassador Gerard, called
upon to speak. said:
II had a candidate and his name
commences with H." Mr.. Gerard was
looking directly at a table at which
sat Herbert Hoover. The remark was
greeted with applause and when 1t
had subsidized Mr.. Gerard continued:
Il am glad you like him. He ran out
from us and went and herded himself
with republicans. Before he is through
