CARRY HIS PLAN BEFORE PEOPLE
PRESIDENT WILSON WILL OUTLINE PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM IN ADDRESS
Seek Moral Support—Democrats in Congress Half-Hearted in Support—Lusitania Case
By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—President Wilson expects to take his preparedness program squarely before the people and ask their moral support. The first appeal is expected in an address soon. The White House today stated that the president expected that the international situation would clear rapidly and then that he would concentrate his efforts for national defense. The president faces an embarrassing situation in congress. It is reported that the democrats of the central states are opposed to the program and the floor leaders are not lending their support.
President Wilson has rejected certain terms in the Lusitania agreement which Secretary Lansing and Ambassador Von Bernstorff had reached and it is believed that these questions related to a disavowal.
President Wilson is not as willing to concede as much as Secretary Lansing has in  Order to prevent embarrassment to Germany.
After a 15-minute confidential conference with Secretary Lansing this morning, Ambassador Von Bernstorff frankly hinted his belief that America would be pleased with the outcome of the situation. The amended agreement has been forwarded to Berlin and a formal approval is expected soon.
