War Spirit Takes Nap in Congress
Washington May 2 The war spirit dormant in Congress will likely rise if developments south of the Rio Grande shift the week. Senate debate over repealing the Panama canal tolls exemption clause, House action on naval appropriations for two battleships, anti trust and diplomatic bills, plus Mexican issues, will shape the week. Committees prepare for sea life safety talks in London, while the interstate commerce panel gears to consider railroad capitalization, coast guard consolidation, and the seamans bill amid anticipated amendments. Continuous press updates and mediators’ bulletins will fill both wings of the capitol as lawmakers track Mexico and related security measures.
