Uncle Ted's Bed Time Stories
Wilson Makes Foreign Enjoys UnDelcome

Tonight children" began Unole Ted,
ss Jack and Ruth begged for a story
u am going 70 til you about another
condition OF affairs In our National
Capital, Washington. that has been
caused by President Wilson's desire for
power. and which has made bad feel
ing between the representatives OF the
governments OF Europe and our own
government This condition was
brought to my mind by the way in
which Nlr. Wilson told Secretary OF
State Lansing 10 leave the cabin 4. Mr.
Wilson did not start demanding that
he and he alone should be the one 10
handle all our affairs with other coun-
tries since the beginning OF his III
ness. Il dates back 10 scven years ago
when he first entered the White House.
p The presidents before him made Il
very easy for the representatives OF
tho foreign governments 10 see them. I
can remember how President Roosevelt
used 10 play tennis on tho courts OF
The White House grounds with foreign
ambassadors and ministers
But Mr.. Wilson from the spring OF
1913. when he took the oath OF oflce,
really closed the doors OF the White
House 20 thesa representatives and
made himself harder TO see than the
kings OF Europe"
"Csn Opr representatives see the
kings in Europe without trouble2@ ask
ed Jack.
IN England, Jack" answered Uncle
Ted, "our Ambassador can call on King
George at any time without asking for
what Is called an audience Ambas-
sador Wallace our ambassador in
Paris can call on the President Of
France any time he likes without even
more than making an appointment by
telephone, But The foreign ENJOYS in
Washington, when they wish 10 see
President Wilson, no matter how i'm
portant ;he calls may be or how secret,
shey must take sometimes days and
DAYS asking for such a talk throush
the State Department and ev n tell the
Secretary OF State by written re-
quest what they want 10 talk about,
You can see that such way OF do
ing things makes these representatives
