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.

Bad V.ttrrtu Feared.
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."

In regard to the sundry civil bill, the
president in another communication to
