BRYAN DEN1ESCHARGE OF INCONSISTENCY FAILING TO SIGN NOTE Former Secretary Issues An- y other . Statement Defend ing His Position. ' IThlt1 Tree leased Wlre.l . . -Washington,-June 12. Former. Secre tary of State Bryan tonight denied all allegations that he was -inconsistent in lieJlPVMh uote. t Uefmany, the Xusitanta communication, andT"' in refusing to sign the rejoUtder Jiov be fore the kaiser and his government.: He carefully explained that when he signed; the two first note he. was ex pecting ; that, the United States 'would take steps which Would make it .easy for Germany Mo comply, v The steps he desired were acceptance of tne ar bitration plan: agreement to i warn American eltisensi? to keep off steam ers carrying munitions, and sending a note to Great Britain . protesting against; ber restricting the freedom ;of the seas. He stuck to his Ideas up. to the last, he said, and when they final ly were rejected there was nothing for him to do. and remain consistent,, nut to refuse to sign the final note. Incidentally, Bryan confirmed the report that the latest note was modi fied after h had-tendered , his -resignation, .but he explained " that the modifications -were not sufficient for him to have withdrawn his 'resigna tion. ' , Toophole Given Germaoiy. . : The chief modification; in the note, it was learned tonight, was " to open a loophole for Germany - In. connec tion with the LiUsltania. As original ly drawn, the rejoinder In disposing of all German contentions that the liner was an armed auxiliary cruisfcr, carrying munitions, illegally, and transporting Canadian reservists, cha--acterized them as irraveiant. At Bry an's '-suggestion, it was understood, there was finally written' - into the note the : following paragraph : "If the Imperial German government should deem Itself to be in possession of convincing evidence that the offi cials of the government of the United States did not perform these duties (in spection of ocean steamers to enforce their observation of neutrality) with thoroughness, ' the government of the United States sincerely hopes that it vill submit that evidence for consider ation." v . ?Wtiile -this was a distinct concession to Germanyllnasmuch as it saved her pride, Bryan distinctly states tonight that the note did not go far enough at any time to warrant him signing it., ( auvsrs Hsvspspsr OrlUcs. - Mjp attention has been 'called to sv number of newspaper articles and edi torials which, in varying language, ask the question: "Why did Mr; Bryan sign the first note . to Germany and refuse, to sign the secondT - The argument presented in the ques tion is based upon the supposition that the two notes were substantially, the same and the second note simply re Iterated the demands contained in he first. They then' declare it inconsis tent to sign the. one and then, to refuse to sign the ether The difference be tween the nates is evident enough" to make an answer t unnecessary,, but. lest silence on .the' subject be taken, as an admission -of Inconsistency.' the following explanation Is given; ' The notes must be -considered in connection with circumstances under which they were sentf The first rtote presented, the case of ; this government on evidence ; which; we thenr had. i ' It was like" the? plaintiff's 'Statement 'iii the' case,. his! -.claim' being based upon the .facts a be presents them. did not sgree entirely with the lan guage of the" first note, but the -"dAfference was not so material as to justif y a re fusal to sign it. Then, too, at- that time I, was hoping that certain things would be done which would make it easier for Germany to acquiesce to our demands. - The three things which X had In mind, which.' in tny judgment would have helped the siuatlon, were: .
