THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 13, 1919. 1 WILSON ID BE URGED JO CANCEL TM TRIP Cabinet Members to Advise President to Stay at Home. DANGER TO PARTY FEARED f League of Nations Covenant Already II Backing of People, IXrnic i ocratic Advisors Urge. BT CARTER FIELD. fC1!HTipondrnc nt th New York TrlbanO WASHINGTON. July i. President Wilson will be advised very strongly by members of his official family, on Ms arrival la thi country, not to make the stumping tour of the country In be half of the league of nations. It was learned today on unquestioned author ity. Whether the president will heed the advice those of his advisers who hold this view cannot forecast. One of them remarked. In discussing the situation with a friend, that his advice had not always been accepted by the president. But the president Is known to have a hifrh regard for the opinion of this man and one other member' of the preal d'nt's official family who also believes that the trip would not be wise. Meanwhile the White House, although an itinerary for the president's tour has been prepared, haa withheld any announcement, awaiting the president's definite decision. J Leant Said to Re Favored- These who will advise the president aaninst naklnr the triD will represent to him that they think the country for two reasons Is very generally In iavor of the league of nations. The nrsi reason is that the people are eager to have some solution of the war problem. rndin all war certainly war on lures scale. The second Is that th country, or a considerable part of it. took the ground some time ago that It was behind the president on the war, and a great many people consider tn league of nations, with the peace treaty, Is the last step of the war. xnererore they are Inclined to be behind tne presi dent on this. On both of these actuating motives. these officials will tell the president. the country is absolutely committed. The verv nature of these motives I uch that no arguments which could tw muriA would lend any strength them. Klther a man or a woman feel ihu wav about It or he does not. an In either event no arguments which the president could possibly make in a stumping tour wouia De api m a6' a man s views. Tear Might Raise Doubt. On the contrary, the president will be told that in a speech-making tou on behalf of the league of nations he would Dut himself more or less in defensive position a situation tending, more or less, to destroy the potency of one of the big reasons why so many people are following the nresident on the league, becauxe they regard it as the last of the war issues and are de termined to go through to the end behind the president. The very fact that the president con siders It necessary to make a spectac ular stump-speaking trip, they fear. will cause many persons now committed to the league to begin wondering If, after alL this is not a controversial question, in which the Idea of follow ing the president on the war Is not Involved at all. but to which they should really give their attention with a view to finding out if they really approve It or not. The course the president will be urged to take Is to make, at the most. one big speech, perhaps in New Tork, tn addition to his address to congress. In this one speech he could outline the general benefits of the league of na tions and point out the difficulties of solving the problem in any other way Country Kaay to Reach. This, of course, his advisers say, would be printed all over the country, so that it would reach everyone who cared to read it. So that, while putting out the chief arguments in favor of the league for the benefit of those who might be converted to it. this plan would not have the disadvantage of placing the president so obviously Ir the position of defending a controver sial question which was under attack. It could not be learned whether these advisers were at all influenced by the Joy with which the announcement of the presidents tour was greeted by the radical opponents of the leaguo, such ' as Senators Borah and Hiram Johnson. It was pointed out by the opponents of the league Immediately after the announcement of the tour was made that the president would be com pelled, after his first three or four speeches, to begin to go into details in defending the league. Opponents' Ideas Given. "The moment he does that he and the league are undone." one prominent senator opposed to the league said some days ago. The idea of the opponents is that the moment they can get the public at tention a little bit off the main Ides that the league will stop war an argu ment which they think they can meet logically, but not sentimentally they think they can obtain a popular vulsion against the league by exciting the public over the objections to It such as the possible sending of Amer ican boys to fight over foreign boun- daries or to police Europe, the possible Interference of the league with Imml gratlon Into America and the abandon' mnt of the Monroe doctrine. Plans of the league opponents to send speakers after the president, attacking his arguments and demanding that he answer certain questions, are thought to have had weight with the president's advisers. tunity to secure at the expense and un der the costering care of the federal government such training as he needs to overcome the handicap of his dis ability and to resume his place as a civilian able to earn a living upon something like equal footing with those with whom he was associated before he made his great sacrifice for the honor and defense ot the country. Single Aseser la Charge. ""The work of rehabilitation under this admirable law is now at its height and was to have been given greater speed and certainty by the amendment to section two of the vocational re habilitation bill, which I have today signed and which places the whole re sponsibility for vocational training in a single agency, virtually transferring from the war risk Insurance bureau to the federal board for vocational educa tion (6.000.000 with which to support disabled men in training at the gener ous figure of $80 a month for a single man and $100 a month for a man and his wife. "It is a matter of very grave concern, therefore, that at the very moment when these disabled men are coming in constantly increasing numbers to the government to avail themselves of this general plan, there ahould appear in the sundry civil appropriation bill. which I now return. limiting clauses which will do much more than seri ously cripple and retard the beneficial work of restoring these men to useful and contented lives. These clauses would probably. In fact, if put into effect, nullify the whole purpose of the act. and render its administration prac tically impossible. Mark Money to Be Repaired. "The section of the bill which I now return which governs the appropriation for this work, provides the sum of S6.OOC.uoO for all the expenses of re habilitation, including the support of the disabled men in training and this sum Is stated to be 'In lieu of the ap propriation contained in the act ap proved July. 1919. amending section two of the act approved June 27. 1(18.' In asmuch as there are are already over 4000 disabled soldier, sailors and ma rines In training and Inasmuch as an other 4000 will be put into training now hat the amendment to section two has become law. it Is clear that ecven at the rate of only (80 a month a sum ap proximating eight millions will be re quired for the mere support of these men. and that under the present ap propriation nothing will be available for their tuition and travel or for plac ing them where they can earn a living, and It will be impossible to meet the needs of the new thousands who are every week seeking the benefits of the rehabilitation act. "In the offices of the board In the District of Columbia and In 14 great centers of the United States, Immediate help Is being given to men in need of these services, and these offices are used for the essential purpose of keep ing accurate records, of providig proper medical survey of the men. ot caring for them in their Illness and for the various administrative costs Insepar able from difficult work of this kind. hlch must, in the present clrcum stances, reach to every corner of the United States. Salary Limitation Held Bad. Furthermore, the same section of the sundry civil bill places such limi tatons upon the salaries which th federal board for vocational education permitted to pay. that it will in evitably result in the loss by the voca tional board of a very large number of men who have made themselves especially valuable and, indeed, India pensable in this new work by reason of their native ability, their proven general experience and their special training, and to whose advice the dis abled men must look as well as for superintendence in the matte of train ing and employment. Among these are the vocational ad visers whose special duty it is to study the men in the hospitals, confer with hem and lay out their vocational plans. These .hospital cases must, if these men are to be dismissed, or allowed to re sign, get along entirely without such advice and supervision until they have been able, after their discharge to make their way on their own initiative to the distant offices of the federal board. 1 fDefective Vision Overcbmelill .

These serious limitations upon the amount of money available and the uses to which it is to be put, involved therefore an actual disruption of a care- ully built-up service at the very mo ment when the disabled soldiers, sail. rs and marines now in the country or returning; to It. are most immediately need of help. This is a matter of the gravest consequence. It cannot but ave far reaching and disastrous ef fects upon the plan so carefully thought out fo rthe immediate and through re- abilitation of men in the service of the country. I therefore return the bill with the hope that the congress will reconsider his section of the law. restore the six millions appropriated under the act mending the salary limitations, so that this benlflcent work may so on and go on at once. I am convinced that in this matter 1 speak the sentiments and the hopes of those who have most carefully studied the needs of the re- urnlng soldiers and who are best ualified to carry out a purpose which am sure the country has very much t heart."
