P. W. Collins Says Accused Members’ Party Aims to De- stroy Existing Government. By Joseph S. Jordan (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ALBANY, Feb. 3.—Peter W, Coffins, director of reconstruction and em- ployment work for the Knights of Cotumbus was called to the witngss| stand when the trial of the five sus- pended Socialist Assemblymen was resumed to-day. He appeared as a representative of labor to denounce the Socialists. On the other hand the Socialists were distributing copies of a letter rom Father John A. Ryan, of Washington, a member of the faculty! of the Catholic University of Amer- ica, to Morris Hillquit, which read: | Dear Mr, Hillquit—When 1) “My | was in New York Friday, I tole- phoned your residence with tie in-| tention of congratulating you on the vey able and altogether magniti- cent fight that you bave been making} at Albany on behalf of fair play and} representative government.

By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve ning World.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (Copyright, | 1920).—Sufficient time has elapsed to make a thorough study of the true effect which the extraordinary letter of Viscount Grey the London Times has had on the treaty fight and the American political situation as reflected in the activities, Plans and aspirations of the different sroups in the National capital, Unprecedented document Was in that it was the first time any to as the foreign statesmen of such promin- ence and official affiliation has en- tered into the merits of a contro- versy between American political fac- tions, there is no question that gave a maximum of comfort to the “irreconcilables" as well as the Lodge reservationists of the Repub- lican party and not altogether a minimum of offense to the true friends of President Wilson in the Democratic party, FRIENDS OF WILSON ARE DEEP- LY CHAGRINED. Republicans and those Democrats whose ardor for President Wilson has cooled for one reason or another dur- ing the last seven years, saw in the Grey letter a “slap in the face” for the President. To the extent that Viscount Grey exonerated the Re- publicans from the charge of playing politics, giving them a clean bill of health for the strategy and manocu- vres of the last few months, the truo friends of the President on Capitol Hill could not conceal their chagrin and disappointment. To the extent that Viscount Grey justified the Lodge position on two important reservations—even though he omitted to say anything about Article Ten or the Monroe Doctrine or the claims of the Irish for self-determination— the document flattered the Republi- can leaders and drew profuse prais: And why shouldn't the Republi- cans who have been ur, reserva- tions of the Lodge variety be happy?
