Former Secretary of State Comes Out
Squarely Against Wilson's Prepar
edness Program Is Departure
From Traditions, Reversal of Na
tional Policy, Menace to Peace.
WASHINGTON', Nov. G. Former
Secretary of State Bryan came, out
sipiaroly against President Wilson's
national defenso plan In a formal
statement In which ho took Issuo with
tho president's views as expressed
last nlRht before the Manhattan club
in New York.
A doparturo from our traditions;
a reversal of our national policy; n
inenaco to our peace and safety, nnd
u challenge to the spirit of Chris
tianity, which teaches us to Influcnco
others by example, rather than by
exciting fear," Is Mr. Bryan's view
of tho national dofenso plans.
Tho former secretary of state's
slntcment, which reiterates vlows ho
has previously expressed on tho sub.
jeet of preparedness for war, was ro
gnrded as tho opening gun In tho
fight which administration leaders
expoct In congress against adoption
of tho plan. Mr. Bryan's statement
hays:
Head In Sorrow
"I have road tho president's speech
at Now York with sorrow nnd con
cern. Ho Is doing what ho believes
to bo his duty nnd so long as a man
follows his conscience and Judgment,
wo cannot criticize his motives,! but
wo may bo compelled to dissent from
his conclusions. I feel It my duty to
dissent, and as he has givcu his vlows
with clearness nnd emphasis, thoso
who differ from him arc under a like
obligation to express themselves with
cqunl clearness.
"Ho says that his position Is dif
ferent from that of tho prlvato indt-
ldiiul, In that tho Individual Is frco
to speak his own thoughts and risk
his own opinion. This scntonco Is a
little obscure. Insofar as ho express
es his own opinion, ho does not dif
fer from tho prlvato citizen except
that ho speaks under a senso of offi
cial responsibility1, but where n na
tion's fate Is Involved In a policy
every prlvato citizen who loves his
country and tries to servo It Is con
hclous of responsibility."
Announces New Policy
"Tho president will not assumo
that ho Is moro deeply Interested In
tho wolfaro of his country than tho
millions who elected him to bn for a
time being their spokesman. And If,
as ho evidently believes, ho Is giving
volco to tho opinions of his country
men, ho Is, of course, anxious to hnvo
them as frank with him as ho has
been with them, how otherwise can
ho know whether ho represents or
mlsreprosonts their vlows,
"Ho has announced n policy which
has never beforo been adopted In
this country and nevor endorsed by
any party In tho country nnd ho Iiqb
no way of knowing until ho hears
from the pcoplo whether ho has cor
rectly Interpreted tho will of tho pub
lic. Ills apopal Is not to any party,
but as ho says, to nion of 'all shades
of opinion.' Ho asks for tho hearty
support of tho country, meaning, of
courso, that ho wants tho support,
provided tho pcoplo favor tho policy
which ho has outlined. Ho could
not, of courso, ask them to support
n policy which they did not endorse,

tacked by Vcnizc!os.
LONDON, Nov. G. Tho nll-night
meeting of the Greek chamber, the
new r.ttnek of Former Premier Ven
izclos on Ihc policy of Ilic government
anu my criticism of King Constan
tino'!? interference with "constitu
tional liberties" of the Greek oople
arc recent stages of the new political
crisis, which for the time being hah
overshadowed the military bituntion in
the Balkans. According to latest in
formation from Athens, the king is
expected to continue the Znimis cab
inet nnd dissolve parliament rather
than accept the other alternative of
permitting M. Vcnizelos to return to
power.
King Opi.cs War
King Constantino is said to bo in
thorough sympathy with the conduct
before the chamber of General Yannt-
kitsas, war minister, whoso remarks
brought on tho crisis, nnd to have
demonstrated appreciation of the
minister's force by appointing him an
aide do camp.
Kui": Constantino bus bumiuoncil
lenders of nil parties to confer on the
situation resulting- from tho overthrow
of the Znimis cnbinct, nnd it is ex
pected the ministerial crisis will end
within twenty-four hours.
Poi tons of tho address of Former
Premier Veniclos of Grccco to the
chamber of deputies just before tin;
defeat of the Znimis ministry nro
ghen as follows by the Huvns cor
respondent nt Athens.
Vcnizelos Defiance
"The foreign policy of the govern
ment does not have our confidence.
Moreover, wo consider it fatal for the
country. In recent days wo have felt
more profoundly still the pain of seo
ing our country menaced by our eter
nal enemy, which will turn on us lif
ter having crushed Seibiu.
"Wo are saddened by tbe thought
that tomorrow we shall be alone, with
out friends or allies, in face of a for
midable enemy."
At this point M. Vcnizelos was In
tel runted by a deputy, who asked
whether he thought King Constantino
desired the ruin of tho country.
"1 would linvo preferred to omit the
name of the king in this discussion,"
M. Venizelns responded, "but since
oti usk tbi question I shall answer
ns I should. Under the constitutional
regime, the king can have no rosmn
ubilily." Illumes King's Advisers
K.-Prcmior Vcnizelos said, bow-
ever, that be did not menu to throw
upon tho king responsibility for tho
present situation in Greece. Ho blam
ed those who had failed to advise hi
majesty as they ought, nnd said the
crown could not refuso to recognizo
the vuto of confidence accorded by
the chamber of deputies to tho pre
ceding cabinet.
M. Gonnnris, minister of tho inter
ior, interrupting, snid ho thought the
policy of M. Venizolos would lead tho
country to niiii Mid to take opposition
against tho central powers, which
would bo dLsiifetrous for Greece and
Seibin.

plan of campaign, us revealed hero

to move eastward, cut Obregon off

That it fnilcd, ns far ns it concern
