he must not be embarrassed by men of

tanned his early position that there is
no unity of decision with men of indie

BuHitt Episode
Annoyed Wilson
Lansing's Criticism, of
League Brought Out Be-
fore Senate Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Differences
of opinion between President Wilson
and Robert Lansing over the peace
treaty have been apparent on differ
ent occasions.
The testimony of William c. Bullitt
formerly an expert attached to the
American peace commission in Paris
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee last September 12, is re-
garded as one Of the chief causes of
the rupture between the President and
the former Secretary. Reading from a
memorandum he had made of a con-
versation in Paris with Mr.. Lansing,
Bullitt said at the hearing.
"Mr. Lansing said he personally
judicial clauses Of the league OF
nations, making arbitration corr
pulsory. He also said he was abso-
lutely opposed to the United States
taking q mandate in either Armenia
or Constantinople; that he thought
Constantinople ought to be placed
under local government, the chief
members Of which to be appointed by
an international committee.
League Declared Useless
"Mr. Lansing then said that he, toe
considered many parts Of the treaty
thoroughly bad, particularly those
dealing with Shantung and the league
Of nations. He said 4 consider that
the league of nations at present Is
entirely useless. The great powers
have simply gone ahead and arranged
the world to suit themselves. England
on1 Eroroo rIxy tyot an
of the treaty everything they wanted
and the league of nations can do
nothing to alter any of the unjust
clauses of the treaty except by
unanimous consent of the members of
the league, and the great powers will
never give consent to changes in the
interests of weaker peopies'
I'VE then talked about the possibil-
tiles of ratification by the Senate. Mr..
Lansing said: 4 believe if the Senate
could only understand what this treaty
would really understand, it unques-
tionably would be defeated, but l Won
der if they will ever understand what
it let's them in for"
This recital of what purported to be
Secretary LansinG's views of the peace
treaty drew no reply Of any kind from
either the President, who was in the
West on speaking tour, or from Mr.
Lansing, who was passing his vacation
at his home in Watertown, N. Y. 1t
did bring forth predictions from other
ing would resign Immediately. One re-
port was that Secretary Lansing had
offered his resignation as a peace dele
gate while in Paris, but the Secretary
SAID there was mot a word of truth in
that"
