Wilson Opposes Broad War Probe Amid Redraft Plan
In Washington on May 15 President Wilson warned that passage of the Chamberlain resolution for a new war inquiry would be a direct vote of no confidence in the administration. The Senate committee aimed to limit the inquiry to army operations while avoiding broad military conduct and strategy. The expenditures committee prepared to redraft the measure to focus the inquiry on aviation and related war activities, with officers appointed to study aircraft production, ordnance, licenses, and the War Department's oversight.
