REPUBLICANS SAY
PRESIDENT WILSON
HAS 'PASSED BUCK'
Lack of Suggested Solutions for
''s problems Presented . in Mes
r sage Brings Varying Comment.
DESIRE TO EMBARRASS SEEN
Si
Political "Poison Gas," Term
Applied by Senator, Expresses
4s General Sentiment of Majority.
" By Jutin McGrath
": Washington, May 21. When Presi
dent WIIkhi'i message was read to con
cress Tuesday there was general com
ment that it was different in style from
bis previous messages. Undoubtedly it
was different. There was a reason. It
Was the first message which Wood row
. Wilson had sent to a congress not con
trolled by bis own party.
"When the senate and house adjourned,
i newspapermen buttonholed Republican
members of both; branches to learn
what they thought about the message.
Senators and ' representatives were in
clined to be careful In the expression
Of their views for publication. Their
private comments were frank and force
ful, but hardly fit- for publication, in
most Instances, even .- If permission to
publish had been granted. ,
RHETORICALLY PASSES BUCK
''About the mildest characterization
given confidentially was that the presi
dent had "rhetorically passed the buck.
The-, insouciant manner In . which
the president-passed to -the Republicans
the responsibility for finding the proper
solution for problems seemed to be dis
tinctly irritating to them. It was noted
that he stated .the problems with force
and clearness and vdth full appreciation
of their gravity, but that when it came
- to suggest the methods by which they
could be worked, the president, la most
Instances, avoided definite commitment.
. According to the Republican view, the
president was definite in his recom
mendations only on questions with
which the Republicans will find it trou
blesome to deal. ' ,
VIKE AJfD BEER SUBTERFUGE
r His recommendation that congress re
move the ban upon the mannufacture
and sale of wines and beer was regarded
by the Republicans as evasive and de
signed to embarrass them.
There was no reason, they say, -why
the last congress should not have
passed legislation removing that re
striction. The legislation could have
'been made effective at a date when
demobilization, In the president's judg
Quality Is
the Keynote
More ancT more men are
learning to depend on the
clothes we sell. They know
that this common sense
store has no
merchandise to offer or to
advertise.
Just good, sensible, serv
iceable clothes, correctly
styled and itailQred - and
priced on a business basis
that men appreciate.
. When you buy here, you
can expect quality and not
:be disappointed.

ment, was sufficiently far advanced. It
was generally agreed that this recom
mendation, of the president - would be
ignored, i' . ";;-?-. ;; -'
While the president recommended the
return of the railroads and the tele-
I.graph lines to their owners, be left to
the Republican majority met iui re
sponsibility without specific suggestion
from him of the conditions under which
the -return i to be made. ; r
RADICAL YJEWB OX LABOR
In dealing with the question of labor,
the president expressed radical views,
but the criticism was made bjr the Re
publicans that, he' did not commit him
self to definite recommendations.
Speaking of the strife' that has gone
on bet S een capital and labor, the pres
ident' said that as an essential of in
dustrial peace "there should be a genu
ine cooperation, and partnership based
upon a- real community of interest and
participation in control." y;
The Republicans would have liked to
have had the president state his ideas
of the bringing about of this participa
tion of control. -.."'
But the president did not see fit to
force bis" views on the Republican ma
jority. He modestly said;
"The members of the committees on
labor in the two bouses will hardly
need suggestions from me as to what
they shall seek to make the federal gov
ernment the agent of the whole nation
In pointing out, and. If need be, guidtns
the process of reorganization and re
form.",, POLITICAL "POISON -GAS"
The political "poison gas" was one
comment I heard a Republican senator
make on that part of the president's mes
sage. The Democratic senators and mem
bers of congress enjoyed the discom
fiture of their Republican brethren as
the president's message was read and
later chaffed them about having their
work cut out for them.
Some of the senators think the presi
dent will discontinue his custom of per
sonally reading . his message to con
gress, believing he will prefer .long
range shooting now that the political
complexion . of congress has changed.
Senator. Lodge, Senator Borah and
Senator Johnson of California declined
to make any comment on the message.
All that Senator Lodge would say was:
"Not a word."
