most necessary thing to do was to sec
how many votes the democratic pro-
gram could command.
Lodges friends today pointed out
that President Wilson in his letter to-
Senator Hitchcock read in the recent

Resignation Of Secretary OF State
Brings Up Words Of BulIitt

Z, WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.0Testi.
mony Of William Bullitt, member OF
the United States peace commission,
before the senate foreign relations
committee last September was re-
called today in connection with Secre'
tary Lansing's resignation. In this
testimony, which Lansing has never
flatIy denied, Bullitt quoted Lansing
as saying America would reject the
treaty if the people knew what 1t
lets them in for"
i, The Bullitt testimony before the
| committee follows N part:
| Lodge-"Did any member OF our
delegation, any member OF the coun
Gil OF ten express to you any opinion

Builitt-"Well Mr. Lansing, Colonel
House, General Bliss and Henry White
expressed to me very vigorously their
opinion on the subject"
Were they enthusiastically in ia.
yor Of it,"
Bullitt-"I regreat to say not 1t is
no secret that Mr.. Lansing, General
Bliss and Henry White objected very
vigorously to numerous provisions OF
the treaty. "
'T do not think that Secretary Ian
sing Ia at all enthusiastic about the
league. Of nations as it stands at pres
ent. I have a note of conversation
with. him on the subject, which. II
may, will just read, because 1t bears
directly upon the issue involved This
was a conversation with the secre-
tary of state at 2:30' on May 10. The
secretary sent for zsie.
"Mr. Lansing then said that he per-
sonally would have strengthened
greatly the judicial clauses OF the
league of nations covenant. making
arbitration compulsory. He also said
he was absolutely opposed to the
United States taking mandate IN
either Armenia or Constantinople.'
Bullitt then said Lansing condemn
ed parts of the treaty as bad and
quoted him as follows:
"I consider the league of nations
at present is entirely useless. The
great powers have SIMPLY gone ahead
and arranged the world to suit them
selves. England and France in par
ticular have gotten out or the treaty
every thing that they wanted xxx
Bullitt said he and Lansing then
discussed ratification by the senate.
According to Bullitt Lansing said:
az believe If the senate could only
understand what this treaty means
and II the American people could
really understand it. would unquestion-
ably be defeated, but I wonder II they
will ever understand what it lets them
in for ...

certainly was no intention on my part
ito assume powers and exercise fanc-
| tons which under the constitution
lare exclusively confided to the presi-
dent"
Lansing then offered to submit his
resignation.
Wilson replied Feb. II and charged
Lansing with attempting to assume
presidential powers and told him that
he would take advantage" Of his
offer to resign.
Lansing replied, submitting his
resignation and said he had long been
conscious Of the fact that the presi-
dent did not welcome his advice, but
felt 1t his duty to remain in the cabi-
met at present.
Ever since January, 1919" Lans-
!, ing said, II have been conscious OF
the fact that YOU were no. longer. dis.
posed to welcome my advice in mat
Iters pertaining to the negotiations In
Paris, to our foreign service or to the
international affairs in general. Hold
ing these views, would, If had
consulted my personal inclinattons
alone, have resigned as secretary Of
state and as a commissioner to nego
ltiate peace. ! thought, however. that
such step might have been misin-
terpreted both at home and abroad
and that 1t was. my duty to cause you
no embarrassment In carrying for
ward the great task In which you
were then engaged"
Lansing declared his belief that
the cabinet conferences were held
for the best interests Of the country
and replying to the presidents state
ment that he has tried to forestall
Wilson's Judgment at times he de-
clared:
Il have it is true when l thought
a case demanded immediate action,
advised youg what in my opinion that
action should be, stating at the same
time the reasons on which my opinion
was based confess that l have
been surprised and disappointed at
the frequent disapproval Of my sug-
gestions, but have never failed to
follow your decisions, however diff
cult it made the conduct of our
foreign affairs"
Wilson'S reply to this was short
aud formal, accepting Lansings s
resignation.
The bitter interchange of letters
recalled today numerous rumors that
Lansing would resign. Some Of these
started before Lansing returned to
this country from Paris, but all were
denied During the treaty fight, it
was charged--and never denied-be-
fore the senate foreign relations COM
mittee that Lansing had expressed
opposition to the treaty in private.
/ Later it was rumored that Wilson
strongly disapproved Lansing's policy
toward Mexico when Lansing gave
evidence that he believed in sitter
attitude regarding that country.
There were still other reports that
Wilson was disappointed at Lansings
work in Europe and it was recalled
today that Lansing was brought home
and Under-Secretary Of State Polk
was sent to France. q.

ore time to go into the resignation
d events leading up to 1t.
The resignation OF Lansing was
nounced at the state department
te yesterday. following an exchange
