Secretary of State blamed for ill advised treaty
The speaker accused the Secretary of State of aiding the Democratic party by forging an alliance with the Canadian and British parties through an unfit treaty. He said the State Department should be ashamed of the maneuver, rejecting newspaper influence and warning against enforcing 1287 in a manner that would disrupt business. War talk was folly, and the US stood ready alongside Britain though Dawes then took the floor and adjourned the matter.
