WILSONIAN DREAMS
ATTACKED BY A SENATOR. A MONARCH OF QUITTERS. AMERICA OR THE LEAGUE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received Hept. 17, 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. Senator Sherman, in the Senate debate, described Mr Wilson as “a crowned monarch of quitters unrivalled in the western hemisphere,” and proceeded: “His silence and speed when escaping from his imperishable principles of yesterday are as abyssmal and swift as primal chaos. The question for the United States to decide is whether this country should exhaust itself in making the world for some nations or in making the United States safe for the American people. Mr Wilson’s Hegira, from Washington obviously indicated his intention to seek a third term. No sacrifice evidently was too great to secure the League of Nations, not even the sacrifice of his pledged word. All must pass under his epithets who will not respond to his flight into the dim world of Wilsonian dream*.”
