Letter of Resignation from New York Republican Club of Supreme Court Justice John Ford. ‘As you know, 1 attended the an nual dinner of the Republican club to do honor to the memory of Abraham Lincoin on the anniversary of his natal day I naturally expected to- find there nothing out of consonance with the noble ideals for the realiza- tion of which that sainted patriot lived and died “Instead, 1 was treated to a shame- less diatribe from one James M. Beck zainst the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of our tArmy and Navy, who, in these fateful days, is striving against the militarist spirit of European nations to bring {o a definite realization the altruistic purposes for which our people entered the world conflict, even as Lincoln strove, under the vilification of th Becks of his day, for kindred objects. “At the very hour of Beck's attack upon him, President Wilson's tran- | scendent influence with the peoples of Europe was winning from their rep- resentatives at the peace conference approval of the preliminary draft of the constit of the League of Nations which in every line breathes the true spirit of America’s highest : ideals, of our passionate devotion to | peace and our abhorrence of war, of = the equality of men and the exalta- tion right over might in interna tional affairs.

On him are centered not only the hopes and as- pirations of our country, but also those of the weak, the lowly and the oppressed of all nations, for whose sufferings and misfort.unes the great heart of this republic has always throbbed with active sympathy “A blow aimed at him at this time is a blow which falls upon our coun- try. By invitation of the accredited members of the Republican Club, this man Beck was invited to its most im- portant annual function to strike the blow on Lincoln’s birthday. 1 had for | di- hoped that some public disavowal of responsibility for this treacherous ef- fort to hamstring our president would be forthcoming from some representa- tive of the club. : “From the fact that no repudiation has appeared, no less than from 1he rapturous and protracted applause which greeted Beck’s vilest utterances, T am forced to conclude that the dom- inant sentiment cof the club is in ae- cord with him and approves his ins decent performance, “I cannot without violence to my sense of self-respect tender herewith do other than to my resignation from the club to take place immediatel I have heen a member for upward of a quarter of a century and have in the club a of good friends, dearest T have in the world I had hoped that T membership and con the pleasant social re have grown with sense duty country critical hour for- that T directly or indi even the share of responsibility might reason ontinuing in membership after atrocious tirade and the club’s endorsement of it.” host some of them On that might the 1ccount retain m to nue to enjoy lationships the my hids rectly which which But my in this assume vears, of to rest upon me by of my Beck's manif Paris Gay .\gain.
