WILSON S BUDGET
BY

Head of Columbia University, in
i Testimony Before Congressional
Committee Favors Change.
' Br Justin McGratb i
Washington, Jan; 13. Dr. Nich-
'las Murray Butler, president of Co
lumbia, university, has declared to
'the senate committee in regard to
national budget ay stem that much of

due to lax appropriation and ad
ministration of fundi
A national budget system, with a pro
,rtaion requiring cabinet officer to take

the evil, Dr. Butler saldC
Dr. Butler also r advocated the ap
pointment of a public "riiditor, who

'.' It is an Interesting fact that Dr. But
ler, In hi advocacy of a budget system,
and the participation of cabinet officers
"in congressional discussions, Is for once
wholly In accord with the ideas of Pres
Mdent Wilson. Dr. Butler has been one
' of Mr. Wilson's most frequent, and most
'severe critics, but in heartily espousing
the budget system and cabinet repre-
sentatlon in congress today he indorsed
aentation in congress Monday he Indorsed
" son ta the first political paper Mr. Wll-
1 son ever wrote. This paper appeared in
' the International Review of August, 1878,
'and was entitled "Cabinet Government
in the United States."
. President Wilson has said that the
- - money received by him for this article
? was the first money he had ever earned.
;.He Jocularly remarked, also, that im-
mediately after the publication of his
'article the International Review sus
pended publication.
Nevertheless, he Is said Still firmly to
believe in the Ideas which he then ad
. vanced under the name of Thomas W.
Wilson, which 'Was the way in which be

What Is the change proposed T Simply
to give . the heads of the executive de

of the Initiative in legislation and some
parts of the unbounded privileges now
commanded by the standing committees.
But the advocates of such a change-

themselves when they maintain that it
would not necessarily Involve the prin
ciple of ministerial responsibility; that
is, the resignation of the cabinet upon
the defeat: of an Important part of their
plana For, if cabinet officers sit in con-r
gress as Official representatives f .the
executive, i this principle of responsi
bility must of necessity come sooner or
later to be recognised. Experience
would soon demonstrate the practical
impossibntty-of their holding their seats,
and continuing to represent the admin
istration, after they had found them
selves unable to gain the consent of a
majority to their policy.".

Washington, Jan. i I. It's an ill
wind that blows no gooaV and, sur
veying the situation created by the
expressed difference of opinion be
tween President Wilson and William
Jennings Bryan, and making the
treaty a campaign issue, there is
no doubt that the total effect has
been to hasten rather than retard
efforts toward ratification of the
pact.
Several things have combined to give
a stimulus In Washington to the move
ment for ratification. One is .the news
from abroad telling of the exchange of
ratifications between the allies and Ger
many and the establishment of the
League of Nations. Far from being a
document that can now be revised this
Is framed to meet the Wishes of Ameri
can senators.
.PARTNERSHIP FAVORED
It is now a choice between American
participation or isolation, and more than
two thirds of the senate favors our Join
ing the partnership that is to govern the
peace of the worlds The fact that the
United States is out for the time being
whilst other nations are going ahead
with the Job of operating the peace
treaty, has brought ra certain reaction.
Nobody is wholly pleased with what has
happened not even the "battalion of
death," as the senators have been called
who favor the absolute rejection of the
league, can lookrwlth satisfaction on the
uncertainty that has arisen abroad con
cerning the true intent of American for
eign policy.
The situation in the senate resolves
itself into this: Democrats are even
more active than before In- trying to
get a compromise. Many Republicans
are working harmoniously with them to
reach, an agreement on the reservations.
No new found reference for the views
of William Jennfngs Bryan is responsi-
I ble for this attitude of the Democrats,
but most of them feel he hit the nail

on the head in his Jackson day speech
and that he sised up public opinion ac
curately. As for the letter written by President
Wilson .his friends still insist that it is
not up to the president to take the initi
ative in the compromise - process and
that he would stultify himself before
foreign governments if. after signing a
contract with them, he openly receded
from his position before the senate
acted. They declare that whenever an
American program of reservations is
adopted it will become the duty of the
president, to argue in favor of accept
ance or those reservations and that he
must clearly demonstrate to the foreign
governments that he kept his own pledge
in working far the unqualified adoption
of the peace treaty.
OTHERS HAVE RATIFIED
All the ' allies have ratified without
reservations, and Mr. Wilson must ' go
before them with a plea for changes
because, while the preamble of the treaty
is going to be modified to eliminate the
necessity of a formal exchange of notes
between the allies and America on the
reservations, the United States govern
ment will be obliged to obtain, never
theless, the acquiescence of the powers.
Mr. Wilson will be required, through
the secretary of state, to plead for res
ervations or interpretations adopted by
the senate. If these constitute in effect
a rejection of the treaty, the allies
would refuse to exchange ratifications
with the United States:
The changes that are being discussed
in the compromise conversations are
designed to make it possible for foreign
powers to. accept American signature
without debate. The president has here
tofore said that when the reservations
are adopted by the senate he must know
whether the senate has ratified or re
jected the treaty. It is possible for. him
not to decide that question himself, but
to put it squarely before the European
pow c 18.
One hears in the senate corridors much
talk about the impossibility of compro
mise until Mr. Wilson says that he will
accept or reject. Those who don't want
to do business with the Democrats of
the compromising sort insist on written
credentials from the president himself.
This is well nigh impossible. But the
Democratic senators know that if the
reservations do not nullify the provisions
of the treaty, of course the president
will accept them. They are going ahead
on that assumption and In seeking to fix
the responsibility not for what has hap
pened in the treaty debate in the past
but in the present, it will be Interesting
to watch how far the Republican leaders
go in insisting that Mr. Wilson under
write everything the Democratic sena
tors offer in the way of a compromise.
WILSON WILL ACCENT
One thing is clear, Mr. Wilson will
not be a party to the compromise nego
tiations, but once a. compromise' is ef
fected and the treaty is adopted? by the
senate with reservations satisfactory to
two thirds of the membership of the
senate, it is an open secret, in fact an
excellent bet, that Mr. Wilson will pass
the document on to the European powers.
For it is they who can now say whether
the United States has satisfied tile con
dition upon which membership in the
League of Nations Is based. If they
want America to join - and can afford
to give the United States special inter
pretations of the treaty clauses and, in
some cases, an implied exemplification
from obligation, then it is their business
to say. j "
So far as President Wilson is con
cerned, the ratifications of the peace
treaty by the European powers and the
summoning of the council of the League
of Nations have in a sense diminished
his own discretionary powers over the
future action of : the senate and make
the task entirely for the senate of the
United States. Democrats and Repub
licans at hist are becoming conscious of
their new responsibility and the progress
toward compromise not only is produc
ing hopefulness on Capitol Hill, but sig
nificantly enough It provokes no dis
pleasure at the White House.
