All Allies But Russia In Conference This Side Ocean
Associated Press reports from Washington describe huge US funding plans to support Allied nations, with monthly sums potentially reaching 400 to 500 million dollars, plus a broad program to finance military and moral support. Viviani says US cooperation ensures military victory and moral rights, while conference talks with British and French commissions begin after delays. Admiral DeChair notes Germans build submarines faster than sunk, and the US commission to Russia will be led by Elihu Root with routes secret for safety. Congress eyes swift passage of the war army bill with selective conscription, while Senator Stone backs the president on conscription and Roosevelt is urged to halt volunteer agitation.
