ton at a Later Date.

the trustees of the Home for the
Aged and the representative of the

noon II was decided 20 postpone the

running and proposed in this city.
The Chamber of Commerce. the Y.
Nj. C. A., the Community House and
the Red Cross, all have campaigns
under way. and with none of these
the Home for the Aged wishes to
come into competition in soliciting
funds Besides there is the general
unrest due to the presidential cleo
tion. The provision for the aged in
mates of the home is something that
should rest on the hearts of the peo-
pie of Perth Amboy. ana it is be-
lieved that at more appropriate
time the people of the city will re-
spond generously. Much of the pre-
liminary work has been done. the
memb bevs of the executive commit

give VERSION OF What
WILSON SAID At PARIS
Official Version of Presidents Words at 9th Penary SeS
sion of Paris Peace Conference Given in Answer to
Charges Made by Senator Spencer in G. 0. P Attacks
..This letter sneaks for itself. "

This letter speaks for itself"
Senator Spencer in his reply 20
President Wilson's telegram of Oct.
5. said the statement which he had
attributed TO the President was
made upon the floor of the senate on
February .. 1920. by Senator Reed
and so far as L have learned has
never been denied until now"
In his speech of February 2. Sem
ator Reed quoted from copyrighted
syndicated article by Frank II. Sim
onds. which purported to give the
text of the Presidents address at
the eighth plenary session and which
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia. caused TO be inserted into
the congressional records December
4, 1919.
Along with Mr.. Carlsons tram
script the White House issued in
parallel columns for comparison the
version of the Presidents speech as
given in Mr.. Simond's article. as it
appears in the congressional records.
In the opposite column from the
official version of the Presidents
words as previously quoted. appears
the following:
How could the government of
the United States go before the con-
gress and the people of the United
States and pretend that 1t assisted
in assuring the peace of the world.
If it believes the settlement agreed
upon contained unstable or danger
Gus alignment? If the world
should be troubled again, if the con-
ditions which we all regard as fun
damental are challenged, the guar
antee which will be given you will
pledge that the United States will
send its army and fleet across the
ocean. 1t is surprising under such
conditions that 1t should desire to
reach solution of the various prob
lens which seem to 1t unsatisfac-
tory ?"
