WILSON AND BRYAN DIFFER OM PEACE c TREATY; MAY LEAD TO SPLIT IN PARTY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 President Wilson.' in if letter- to Homer CummlnK.. cbalnnan of tb Democratic natkroil cdmialtt. re4 at the jjackBonity diwaersat toWa8hington hotels last night, repeated his dictum that the treaty .Including the corenant of the league of nations, must be taken 'without changes which would alter its meaning. ... -

The president declared that, in case.

or the raizure or seen raunoauon, we one way oUt was to submit' the matter to the voters1 of the country and rlre to the 1920 presidential election

"'the form of a great and Bolemn referendum". :y -v-: . KHe said in part: The United States enjoyed the sptrltual leadership of the world until the senate of the "United States failed to ratify the treaty by wtflch the belllgerenfnations sought to effect the settlements for which thejr had fought : throughout the war. : It is inconceivable that at this sunreme .crisis and final turning

point In the International relations of the whole world. whn .the results of the great war are by no means deter: mined and are still Questionable and

dependent upon events which no man

can foresee or count upon, the United

States should withdraw from the concert of progressive and enlightened nations by which Germany was defeated and all similar governments (if the world be so- unhappy as to contain any), warned of the- certain consequences of any-attempt of a like In Iquity, and yet that Is the effect of the course the senate of the United States has taken with regard to the treaty of Versailles." Rejects Senate's Decision After asserting that the . treaty was necessary to guarantee the peace of the world, the president said: ; "Personally I do not accept the action of the senate : of : the United States as the decision of the nation. I have asserted from the first that the overwhelming majority of the people of this country desire the ratification of the treaty and my impression to that effect has recently: been confirmed by the unmistakable evidences of

public opinion giVen during my visit to seventeen of the states. I have endeavored to make it plain if the senate wishes to say what the undoubted meaning of the league is, I shall have no objections. There -can be.no reasonable objection to- - interpretations accompanying the act of ratification Itself. But .when the treaty Is acted upon, I must know whether it means that we have ratified or rejected it. We can not rewrite this treaty. We must take it 'Without changes which alter its meaning, or leave it and then, after the-rest of the world has signed It, we must face the unthinkable task of making and separate kind of treaty with Germany., "But no mere assertions with regard to the wish and opinion of the country: are credited. If there la. any doubt to what , the people of the country think of this vital matter, the clear and single war. out le to submit it for .determination at the next election to the voters of the nation, to give the next election the form of a great and 'solemn referendum, a referendum as to the part the United States Is to play In completing the

settlements of the war and In the pre

vention In the future of such outrages

as Germany attempted to perpetrate. We have no more moral right to refuse now to take part In the execution and administration of these settlements than we had to refuse to take part In the 'fighting of ..the last few

mlttee of the senate at a conference at the White House, admitted that, in

view of the constitutional authority .of congress to declare war, there was no legal obligation upon theV!' United

States, but declared that there, would be a "moral obligation" that; would be even more binding. - - - - Republican View Echoed. Mr. Bryan's statement that there should be no insistence upon a moral obligation which would Impair the constitutional rights of congress Is exactly he same as the argument of the members, of the majority group of Republican senators. Although something of the sort was expected, Mr. Bryan's statement of his position caused a tremendous sensation among the diners at the Hotel Washington, -where he made his address. It was ' realised immediately that he intended to become once more a factor in Democratic politics.

Labor's Voice Will Be ' Greater, Says Toner ANDERSON." Ind., Jan, 8. Edward C. Toner, editor of the Anderson Herald and candidate for the Republican

nomination for Governor, ; yesterday outlined his attitude toward the Industrial problem in a slgned-edltorlal

which appeared . in his newspaper

under the caption, "A Humanized In dustry Versus the Soviet - System."

The editorial is reported to have been

provoked by a local Industrial condi

tion, but it is also taken as an ex

pression of Mr. Toner's convictions by which he, would be guided If elected

Governor. . -' ? The editorial reads as follows:

. 7ust what plan , may ultimately be

adopted In the settlement of the pres

ent industrial conflict In this country can not he prophesied with any degree of" certainty. But this much can be safely predicted:' Labor in the future

will have a larger -voice in industry

than it has had In the past.

"This does not mean that the soviet

system will be established in America. It means anything but that. The

soviet idea excludes the right f

caoilal. Ignores the necessity for man

agerial ability, and disregards the vital principle of co-operation between employer and employe. It is the idea which has upset the Industrial founda

tions of Russia.

Mr, Bryan declared that the Demo-i Mrs K. D. Coefleld and Mr. and Mrs

the responsibility for the delay In ratification of the treaty which would be necessary In order to present the Issue at the fall election. ' ' "He contended that the United States ' should be governed by a majority, that the Republicans had a majority - of the senate and that the Democratic party could not afford to take advantage o constitutional right of a minor - Ity of the senate to prevent ratification. The former premier also took Issue - with President Wilson on Article 3C, 'which the latter wrote and which, he " frequently has asserted,- would bind the United States to defend the political Independence and territorial inIJ tegrity of any other member of the

league, as against external aggreB-"'-sion. It is the principle point at.ls-'-sue In the controversy between the

'"It we do not Intend to Impair the right of congress w to decide the question of peace or war ? when the time for action arises, how caxi we insist upon a moral obligation r. to go to war which can have no force l; or value except as It does Impair the
