| Show HOUSE BREACH WITH WilSON ILSON FAlSE C lA No Nothing tiling Has Marred l Close Friendship Between TolIen Two T Men len President Unable to Receive Texas fexas Envoy Yet i By David Lawrence Copyright 1920 InO by y Salt Lake Lako Herald Washington Jan 6 G- G Nothing Nothing Ismore is ismore I more moro difficult than to attempt to anal analyze ana ann I l zo the tho delicate and embarrassing question of oC personal friendship or es estrangement estrangement es- es between public men And the the called so-called break brcak between President President dent Wilson and Colonel House which has haj been the subject of or so much speculation speculation spec spec- and gossip ossip in recent weeks is no exception After Atter an inquiry among among- the Intimate friends of the colonel who have broached broache the tho lie matter to him and conversatIons conversations con con- with persons at ot the tho White Whito WhiteHouse House who have the ear car of or the tho President President President dent an and are arc familiar with what has occurred not only Jn In Paris but since Mr Wilson Vilson got home I haven't the slightest hesitation in saying that the affection and friendship between the tho two men which has been one of or tho the most extraordinary incidents of oC tho the Wilson administration Is still un un- broken On tho ho other hand In the oppressive atmosphere ot of Paris where problems literally staggered the peace commissioners and J kept ept them In a constant fever of or nervous excitement it was natural that pronounced differences dif dl- dif dif- of ot opinion should occur Opinions Ort Often n nut Differ Colonel House had his own ideas Iea of or how tho the President should deal with the European statesmen based on his own deco course with ith them on I previous journeys to Europe as an Unofficial unofficial un un- II official envoy p an and Mr rr Wilson Vilson who iad ad set himself a a definite program ram of or fourteen principles presented frequently fre fre- an uncompromising uncompromIsing- attitude which the conciliatory disposition of oC the colonel was often oCten employed ed to break brcak in the tho interest of agreement as Whether ther the Bu suggestions of or tho the colonel wore wise or those of or the tho President were better whether to have followed the theone theone one or the other line Une of or thought on special questions Question that came up would J have havo made mado a n more or less liberal peace Is something which historians with a n full knowledge of what transpired In Paris will have to figure uro out in the tho future futuro Mr oIl Wilson has differed with his advisers ad before Ho lIe has differed with Colonel House before Ho lie has upon occasion rejected tho the advice of or tho the colonel as well ns as other othor close personal friends and advisers and advisers and no hard bard feelings have haye resulted Units But what lent color to the tho stOr story of or ofa orn a n break was the tho fact that Colonel House did not noti i visit lt the White Hb se after he ho camo came back from I Europe The truth IH is the colonel himself doesn't know where he stands at the thc White WhiteHouse House for the simple reason that h he hasn't had any word from tho the President President dent and has bas simp simply had before him newspaper stories telling telling- of ot a n supposed supposed sup sup- posed break Ho has been represented moreover as intending to organize n a separate and distinct faction inside the Democrat party In connection with the presidential race and to throw his influence against tho the Wilson selection whoever that happens to be But Dut the colonel himself within a n nWe We week k has hns told one ot of his friends that while ho didn't know wh why ho wasn't invited to come to Washington Washington and and he sal said ho had never gone to the ho White WhiteHouse Whitehouse House unless requested requested requested-he ho wasn't in tho lie slightest de degree reo disturbed about that He lie reiterated his de desire lre to work worl for tor Woodrow Wilson on any mission that tho the President might designate nate and in an any work that ho he might wish done political International or otherwise other other- wise He Insisted that his hiB esteem for tor forthe forthe the President had ad not diminished In Interpose eri o e eNow Now ow as to tho the White House the most moat emphatic statements aro arc mado madotto tto to tho the that tho the President would bo La be ungrateful ungrateful ungrateful un un- un- un grateful Indeed and antl most thoughtless if It ho lie permitted an any arguments or doat do- do bates at over questions In Paris laris to nf nC affect ct tho the admiration and friendship ho he has had hafl for or the colonel The Tho latter ma may maynet IlC net t know it but hut the reason Wl why ho hasn't been Invited to the White 1 since his return iro iron from Europe Is ig u a simple elm
