MR. BRYAN'S RESIGNATION
The letter or tesignation of Wil
liam J. Bryan as secretary of state,
was as follows:
"My Dear Mr. President:
"It is with sincere regret that I
have reached the conclusion, that
I should return to you the com
mission .is Secretary oi Sta.e
with -which you honored me at the
beginning of your administration.
Obedient to your sense of duty
and actuated b" the highest mo
tives you have prepared for trans
mission to the German govern
ment a note in which I cannot
join without violatic* what I
deem to be an obligation to wy
country, and the issue involved
is of such moment that tc remala
a member of the cabinet would
be as unfair to you at it would
be to the cause which is nearest
my heart—namely the prevention
of war. I, therefore, respectfully
tender my resignalion to take ef
feet when the note is sent, unless
you prefer an earlitr hour
"Alike desirous of reaching a
peaceful solution >:t the problems
arisin' out of the use of submar
ines against merchantmen we find
ourselves differing irreconcilably
as to the methods which Bhould
bo employed.
"It falls to your lot to speak of
ticiaUly foT the nation. I consid
er it to be none the lees 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 pleas
Tiit relations which have existed
between us during the past two
years, permit me to acknowledge
the profound satisfaction which
It has given me to be associated
*vitb 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 • suc
cess of your administration, I am,
my dear President.
Yours Very Truly,
W. J. BRYAN.'}
The statement of William J. Bryar,
seitiiif forth his reasons for resign
ing as secretary of state, after
praising the high motives, patriot
ism, capabilities and achievements o
President Wood row Wilson and his
advisers, gave these reasons for
withdrawing from the administra
tion:
•"The two ooints on which we
differ, each being conscientious in
Ms belief, are. first, as to the sug
gestion of an investigation of the
differences between the United
States anil Germany, by an inter
national commission, and, second,
as to warning Americans against
lravt Mug on belligerent vessel
or vessels carrying cargoes made
up vholly, or in part of ammuni
tion.
"1 believe that this nation should
3tate frankly to Germany that
".ve are willing to apply in hi3
case the principles which we are
liound by treaty to apply to . dis
putes between the United States
Htid thirty countries with which
we have . made treaties providing
for investigation of all disputes
of fcv»rv character and nature.
"Tnese treaties, negotiated un
.'er this administration, make war
practically impossible tetweeu
this country and the thirty
coven, men ts representing three
fourihs of the peeople of all the
world. Among the natioss with
which we have these treaties are
Great Britain, France' and Russia
No matter what disputes may arise
between the United States ! and
these "treaty nations" we agree
that there shall be no declaration
an." no commencement of police
action until the matters In dis
'put© hare been investigated by
an International commission, and
one year's time is allowed for the
Investigation and a report of .Its
findings. This plan was offered
to all nations without any .excep
tions whatever, and Germany was
on® of the nations which accept
ed the principle, being, I think,
the twelfth to accept. No treaty
was actually entered into with
Germany, but I cannot see that
that should i stand in the way
wnen both nations endorsed the
principle. I . do not know wheth
er Germany would accept the of
fer, but,! In my Judgment this
country Bhould at least make the
off#r. . , !,
"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 Germm ancestry. Why
should we not deal with Germany
according to this plan, to which
I the nation has pledged its sup
port? •
"The second point of difference
is-as to the course which should
be iiursued in regard to Ameri
c'tns traveling on belligerent
ships with cargoes .of ammuni
tion. Why should an American
ci-lc^n 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 an
American citizen has a right un
der interatlonal laws to travel on
a belligerent ship. It is a question
of whether he ought not .out of
consideration for bis country, if
not for his own safety, .avoid the
dinner when avoidance is possi
ble. It is a very one-sided citi
zenship that comnels a govern
ment tc go to war ever a citl
zy.i's rights, and yet relieves .the
citizen of all obligations to con
sider his nation's welfare. As a
private citizen I am free to urge
boih these propositions and. to
call public attention to these rem
edies lu the hope o" securing such
an expression of public senti
nign* as will support the presi
de*' in employing tbese remedies
if in Ihe future he finds it con
sUfnt with his senso .of duty to
favor them."
President Wilson's Reply
The reply of President Woodrow
Wilson to the letter of William J.
Bryan was as follows;
"My Dear Mr. Bryan:
I "X accept your resignation only
because yon • insist upon its ac
ceptance, and I accept it with
much more.than deep regret, but
1 with feelings of personal sorrow.
"Out two years of close associa
tion have been very delightful to
me. Our judgments have accord
ed in practically every matter of
cf'iciai duty, and public policy
until now. Your support of the
work and purposes of .the admin
istration has been generous and
loyal beyond praise. Your devo
tion to the duties of your great
office and your eagerness to take
advantage of every great oppor
tunity for service in it .has offered
an example to the rest.of us. You
have earned our affectionate ad
miration and friendship. Even
now we are not separated in the
object that we seek, but only in
tbe method by which we seek it.
"It is for these reasons that my
feelines about your retirement
from the office of secretary of
state go milch deeper thna .re
«jret. I deplore it. Our objects
are tt.e same and we ought to pur
sue them together. I yield to your
desfre ouly because I must, and
wish to bid you godspeed .on our
parting. We shall continue to
wor* for the same cause 1 even
when we do' not work in the same
way. I
With affectionate regards,
WOODROW WILSON."
