Wilson Declares Those Familiar
Of Nation "Must Stand Amazed At Cross Ignorance and
: Impudent Audacity Which Has Led Them To Attempt
To Invent An 'Americanism Which Has No Foundation
Whatever In Any Of The Authentic Traditions of Gov
ernment.
Washington, Oct. 3. President Wilson in his first campaign
appeal tonight made directly
dorsement of the League of Nations issue at the election and
declared "the whole world will
ber as it would wait for an intimation of what its future is to
be." v... --.r ,: ,
The President characterized
that Article Ten of the League covenant would make it possible
for other nations to lead the United States into war. There was
nothing in the covenant, he said, "which in the least interferes
with or impairs the right of Congress to declare war or not de
clare war according to its own independent judgment, as bur
Constitution provides."-- ; ' V . ; ; :
"My fellow countrymen' was the President's method of ad
dressing his communication to the people. It contained no men
tion of presidential candidates by name, but .was confined to a
brief defense of Article Ten, and an arraignment of those who
he declared had "grossly misled the public With regard to the
treaty. ;V-..Vv.:?-- ::::-'vi"h vv..'-.: -ii'-"
The President said that those who had spent their lives, as he
had, "in faniiliaiixJni themselves with the Tiistory and tradi
tions and policies of the nation must stand amazed at the gross
ignorance and impudent audacity which has led them to at
temptta invent an -"Americanism," which has no foundation
whatever in any of the authentic traditions of the government.'
