Senate Parley On Armed Neutrality
Washington March 2 The senate debate over armed neutrality stalled an extra congressional session as many believe the President knew of Zimmermann's note when relations with Germany soured. The discussion focused on a substitute bill granting the President authority to use instruments beyond arming merchants. Senators remain cautious, with no immediate rush for a March session despite pressure from Democratic leaders.
