ident Wilson and the trials and
tribulations experienced by Abraham
Lincoln during his occupancy of the
Presidential chair. The New York
World comments on this condition as
follows: y
1.-The political situation confront
ing President Wilson and Gov: Cox
when they met at the White House
on Sunday resembled that which
abraham Lincoln faced in 1864.
Wrought popular WEAKNESS with
war and the persistent attacks of
politicians. cause for which great
sacrifices had been made was threat
ened with Amendment.
IF the leading Republicans and
thelr newspapers were to be believed
III 1854, discomfort Mt the North had
reached point where nothing mat
tered an ignore. The country was
staggering under the awful losses IN
the Wilderness and at Atlanta. II
was not believed that Lincoln could
be reelected and party chieftans
were accommodating desperate ex-
pcdients OF various kinds to meet
their defeatist views.
SO profound was the depression
that MIR. Lincoln himself despaired of
success at the polls and drew up a
paper indicating his hopelessness
which was to be published after his
expected defeat. 1t was ut this time
that George w. Julian said that moi
zen Republicans in Congress favored
Lincoln. and Thaddeus Stevens made
the more sweeping statement that ex-
cept for Arnold of Illinois the Presi-
dent dld not have Il political friend
IN either House.
!! What these discordant elements
pretended to believe and sought Ia
prove was, like the contentious OF
their successors today, that in tho
language of Wendell Phillips. ihc
civic and military future of the nd.
ministration' was self evident. Gree
icy was shouting for peace on almost
any terms. and Fremont and his fol.
lowers were so inpatient over DELAY

aervation of the Union as a secon-
dory matter.
"Other factions, then as now, were
denouncing the President because of
his views on finance and tariff, his
conduct of the war, his distribution
Of offices, especially in the Cabinet,
his failure to appoint their favorites
tt high commands in the army. the
belief that he was likely to be too
lenient with rebels and the charge
that he had become welded to mill
tarism and was exercising despotic
powers. All this detraction proceeded
from Republicans who professed to
speak for the loyal North, and of
course gave great satisfaction to
such Democrats as were not ardently
! enlisted for the war.
an the face of this tempest of
disapproval and despair, Abraham
Lincoln in 1864, like Woodrow Will
son in his attitude toward the League
of Nations in 1890, held to his
ideal of a reunited country prosper
ing in peace and Invested by legal
forms of the curse of slavery. He
wanted to finish the work that he
had begun, whatever the cost. He was
pledged to the living and the dead
that the Union should endure. That
was his first object, and it was with
hope rather than faith that he await
ed the verdict of his countrymen.
"Since the armistice of 1918 the
present Administered lion has encount-
cred the same slanderous opposition
from the same Source. Mr.. Wilson's
aim has been to finish the work
undertaken when we took arms in a
war to end war;. At every step he
has been misreprescnted and obstruc.
ted for the most unworthy purposes
There have been periods when il
seemed that the honor Of the Repub-
lie and its vital material interests
also were likely to be sacrificed, as
was the prospect in Loncoln's day, to
greed, malice and cowardice.
Thanks to the resolute spirit OF
President Wilson, Loyalty supported
by his successor as Democratic lead

WILL INSIST upon
OPEN DOOR POLICY
STATE DEPARTMENT MAY PRO-
TEST AGAINST ACTION or
THREE GREAT POWERS.
The Open Door Principle Insisted
Upon by United States in the Turk
ish Settlement Proposed by
France, England and Italy.

washington.-While no protest has
been made thus far by the state de-
partment against the tripartite agree
ment between France. Great Britain
and Italy defining spheres of influence
In Turkey. officials stated that this
did not mean that no objection would
be made against any provision viewed
as contravening an open door policy
In Turkey. The open door principle
was insisted upon by the United States
in the Turkish settlement, 1t was said,
when President Wilson was asked In
March by the French government for
his views on the tentative draft OF
the Turkish treaty.
The American note Of March "a
said: ut Is the understanding OF the
government of the United States that
whatever territorial changes or ar
rangements may be made in the former
Ottoman empire, such changes or ar
rangements will in no way place Amer
lean citizens or corporations of any
other country in less favorable situa-
ton than the citizens or corporations
of any power party to this treaty"
In some quarters 1t was contended
on Saturday that the second para
graph of article two Of the tripartite
agreement did violate this principle,
In excluding from the particular
spheres of influence reserved for each
of the three powers the nationals of
the other two contracting parties.
Acting upon the principle of equal
commercial opportunity for all nations
In Turkey as laid down In the Ameri-
can note, the United States already
sought to apply that precept in Meso-
potamia. Inquiry was made several
months ago of Great Britain concern
ing the reported French-British agree
ment over the exploitation Of Oil In
the Mesopotamian area. This cor
respondence has not been made public

of the American government for
changes i'm the plan of the covenant,
but it has been stated in at least one
quarter that such changes must In no
case violate. the underlying principles
of the convention.
Diplomats generally do not believe

the so-called Lodge plan. In theil
! opinion, amendments would be neces

signatory powers.
| Another matter that will engage tn,
attention of Ambassador Jusserand il

between the United States and France
under existing treaties. France las
spring gave notice to all powers will
which she had commercial treaties o
the termination of these conventions
The French government, l. yever, late
withdrew the notice so far as it con
