WASHINGTON, Jan. s. President
Wilson in his message to the Jackson
Day dinner here said ''the clear and
single way" to determine the will of the
American people on the League of Ma
tions was to make it an issue at the
next election.
The presidents message said nothing
whatever about a third term for himself
and neither did it say even by implica-
ton or intimation that he would not be
a candidate, as has been widely forecast.
Practically all of the message was de-
voted to an expression of his argument
of why he considered it the duty of the
United States to join in the League of
Nations covenant and why he consider
ed the war not really won until it did.
Another attempt to crush the new ma
tions of Europe would be made, the
president said, if the United States held
