Why Bryan Resigned
President Wison’s
Reply To It
1 The letter of resignation of William
J. Ifryan as Secretary of State was
as follows:
My Dear Mr. President:
It is with sincere regret thnt I
have reached the conclusion that I
should return to you the commission
ns Secretary of State with which you
honored me at the beginning of your
administration. Obedient to your sense
of duty and actuated by the highest
motives you have prepared for trans
mission to the Germna government a
note in which I cannot Join without
violating what I deem to be an obliga
tion to my country, and the issue In
volved is of such moment that to re
main a member of the cabinet would
bo as unfair to you as it would be to
the cause which Is nearest my heart
—namely, the prevention of war I,
therefore, respectfully tender my
resignation to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour.
Mike desirous of reaching a peace
ful solution of the problems arising
out of the use of submarines against
merchantmen we find ourselves dif
fering Irreconcilably as to the meth
ods which should he employed.
It falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation. I consider it to be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
a private citizen to promote the end
which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing intimate and pleasant
relations which have existed between
us during the past two years, permit
me to acknowledge the profound sat
isfaction which it has given me to be
associated with you in the important
work which has come before the State
Department, and to thank you for the
courtesies shown
With the heartiest wishes for your
welfare, and for the success of your
administration, I am my dear Presi
dent.
Yours Very Truly,
W. J. BRYAN.
President Wilson's Reply
The reply of President Woodrow
Wilson to the letter or William J.
Bfyan was as follows:
My Dear Mr. Bryan:
I accept your resignation only
because you insist upon its accept
ance, and I accept it witli much more
than deep regret, but with feelings of
persona] sorrow.
Our two years of close association
have been very delightful to me. Our
Judgments have accorded In practic
ally every matter of official duty, and
public policy until now. Your sup
port of the work and purposes of the
administration has been generous and
loyal beyond praise. Your devotion to
the duties of your grent office and
your eagerness to take advantage of
every great opportunity for service In
It has offered an example to the rest
of us. You have earned our affection
ate admiration and friendship. Kven
now we are not separated In the
object that we seek, but only In the
method by which wee seek it.
It is for these reasons that my feel
ings about your retirement from the
office of Secretary of State go much
deeper than regret. I deplore It. Our
objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together. I yield to
your desire only because I must, and
wish to bid you godspeed on our part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same cause even when we do not
work In the same way.
With Affectionate Regards,
WOODROW WILSON.
The statement of William J. Bryan,
setting forth his reasons for resigning
as Secretary of State, which was given
to the public last Wednesday, after
praising the high motives, patriotism,
capabilities and achievements of
President Woodrow Wilson and his
advisers, gave these reasons for with
drawing from the administration:
The two points on which we differ,
each being conscientious In his belief,
are, first, as to the suggestion of an
investigation of the differences be
tween the IPnlted States and Ger
many, by an International commis
sion, and, second, as to wanting Am
ericans against travelllg on belllger
ent vessels or vessels carrying cargoes
made up wholly or In part of ammuni
tion.
I believe that this nntion should
state frankly to Germany that we are
willing to apply In this case the prln
ciples which we are bound by treaty
to apply to disputes between the
United States nnd thirty countries with
which we have made treaties provid
ing for investigation of all disputes of
every character and nature.
These treaties, negotiated under
this administration, make war practlc
ally impossible between this country
and the thirty governments represent
ing three-fourths of the people of al
the world. Among the nations with
I which we have these treaties are
I (treat Britain, France and Russia. No
| matter what dispute may arise be
I tween the United Statee and these
"treaty nations’’ we agree that there
shall be no declaration and no com
mencement of police action until the
matters In dispute hnve been investi
gated by an International commission,
and one year's time is allowed for the
investigation and a reiKirt of Its find
ings. This plan was offered to all
nations without any exceptions what
ever, and Germany wns one of the
nations which accepted the principle,
being, I think, the twelfth to accept.
No treaty was actually entered Into
with Germany, but I cannot see that
that should stand In the way when
both nations endorsed the principle. I
do not know whether Germany would
accept the offer, but. In my Judgment
this country should at least make the
offer
Such an offer. If accepted, would at
once release the tension and silence
all the jingoes who are demanding
war. Germany has always been a
friendly nation and a great many of
our people are of German ancestry.
Why should we not deal with Germany
according to this plan, to which the
nation has pledged Its support?
The second point of difference is as
to the course which should be pur
sued in regard to Americans travelling
on belligerent, ships with cargoes of
ammunition. Why should no Ameri
can citizen be permitted to involve
his country In war by traveling upon
a belligerent ship when he knows that
that ship will pass through the danger
zone. It is not a question of whether j
an American citizen has a right under
International law to travel on a bellig
erent ship. It is a question of whether
he ought not out of consideration for
his country, if not for his own safety,
avoid the danger when avoidance is
possible. It Is a very one-sided citi
zenship that compels a government to
go to war over a citizen’s rights, and
yet relieves the citizen of all obliga
tions to consider his nation's welfare.
As a private citizen I am free to urge
both these propositons and to call
public attention to these remedies In
the hope of securing such an expres
sion of public sentiment as will sup
port the President in employing these
remedies if in the future he finds it
consistent with his sense of duty to
favor them.

tary of the Interior that a refund of
$1,600 will bo made In the case of O.
