SAYS FAILURE OF U.S.
TO ENTER LEAGUE IS
CAUSE WILSON BREAK
i !’>' Tin* A<sii< i i;*•«! 1‘rt‘SH)
OMAHA Neb. April 19.— Presi-
dent Wilson is an invali 1 and broken
in health over the failure of the
United States to enter the League of
Nations United States Senator G. M.
Hitcheock said in address here Satur-
day night.
“1 want to say a few words about
President Wilson." he said “i think
there is too little said nowadays in
defense of his administration and in
praise of his record.
"Let me say first of all. that I am
ua i ■ r.o personal obligations to the
president. My standing in the sen-
ate was not due his influence. It
is no great secret in Washington that
I became chairman of the committee
cn foreign relations when the demo-
i rats controlled the senate at a rime
when the president preferred another
senator fur that honor.
“Before he left the United State*
to go to Paris he did not oa‘>l me into
consultation any more than ho d*d any
one senator although ! was still cT.i.r-
iran of the committee and had not
been succeeded by Senator Lodge. I
mention this to show that 1 have m
personal reason for championing the j
cause of Woodrow Wilson. 1 have I
received no favors from him and I
can speak of him as frankly and judge
him as dispassionately and justly as
any disinterested person.
“Today he is an invalid broken In
health depressed in spirit and bitterly ;
disappointed at* the failure of the
United Slides senate to permit th<*
United States to enter the League of
.Nations. Since last September when
he broke down ho has known nothing
but weakness and weariness and pain.
“Of course Woodrow Wilson made
mistakes. He made a mistake when
he prcceeded to negotiate a treaty of
peace without taking a few leading
members of thy senate into his confi-1
dence. He made a mistake when hej
hurt the feelings of proud senators by
ignoring them until after he had nego-1
tinted the treaty. If he had catered’
to and consulted these senators he
would have had an easy time with rat-
ification. He lacked the tact and fore-
thought. He knew that the constitu-
tion placed in his hands the negotia-j
tion of treaties and he unwisely as-
sumed that if he performed his duty
the senate would do its duty and con-
sent to ratification.”
