Move Promptly To Obtain Facts Of Tark Outrage
Washington June 21 prompt steps to confirm by official channels the report of the seating of the American hospital at Tabriz Persia by Turkish forces were taken by the State Department. Through Spain and Sweden representing respective interests, two guests were given for complete information to guide any action by the government. The department will move deliberatively and act only after information is gathered. The American minister at Teheran has confirmed the preliminary report and no satisfactory explanation from Constantinople is forthcoming. President Wilson may ask Congress to declare war. Secretary of State Lansing discussed the incident with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with a conclusion that if the hospital was attacked by an organized mob rather than mob action it could justify war. War sentiment is strong in both houses and a resolution is expected soon, though Congress likely waits for White House word.
