June 1 Representative Gardner of Massachusetts led an unsuccessful fight against the Hensley resolution authorizing U S participation in an international court for the enforcement of peace. The section was kept in the naval bill without a roll call as the House sat as a committee of the whole.
Advocates of greater preparedness pressed their case as Speaker Clark praised the naval bill section. Daylong gains included appropriations up to six million dollars to enlarge navy yards at Boston Portsmouth Norfolk Philadelphia Charleston and New Orleans.
The plan details construction sites at Boston Puget Sound Norfolk and Philadelphia yards. An amendment cuts enlistment to three years and allows reserve entry after one year. Proposals for 1 million in Mare Island and Brooklyn yard improvements failed. A Hensley provision would create a 200000 appropriation and nine presidential appointees to seek an international peace court after the war.
Washington June 1 General Carranza's note demanding withdrawal of American troops from Mexico has not moved President Wilson to alter the troop disposition. It was stated Pershing's force will stay in place until the de facto government proves it can police its side of the border.
President Wilson read a hastily translated long communication last night and a corrected text is being prepared by the State Department. Officials withheld comment but the tone is said to be offensive and it accuses the United States of domestic politics in keeping troops in Mexico. Wilson will decide on the course of action. No conferences or inquiries have started to shape a reply, and withdrawal of troops is not indicated as under consideration.
General Pershing and General Gavira met in Gavira’s private car for a two hour talk on military cooperation. Pershing called the session pleasant and profitable and said Gavira outlined his proposals. He declined comment on Carranza’s note about withdrawal of the expedition.
A New York Syrians committee appealed to President Wilson and Counselor Polk to obtain permission from Turkey and the Entente to send aid to Mt. Lebanon where 80,000 have died of starvation. They said most inhabitants are Christians and suffer harsh Turkish policy. Syrians in Egypt offer to ship food if allowed. The government will review possible action.
