The Foreign Relations Committee voted to report adversely while Pittman urged objections. Sherman attacked Mann over remarks on criticism of the president. Borah urged reaffirmation of Washington and Jefferson policies on entangling alliances. Jones urged State Department information to aid shipping legislation.

Mine Sweepers Built for France Are Sunk
Sault Ste Marie Mich December 6 There remains doubt that the Ceresoles and the Inkerman French mine sweepers were lost with their crews in a Lake Superior gale on November 24 The crews numbered 56 officers and men. Coast guards search the Lake Superior shores for wreckage of the steamer Huronic of the Northern Navigation line. Captain Leclerc of the French navy in charge of three mine sweepers arrived to arrange a tug to explore the uninhabited north Canadian shore. He gave a graphic account of the storm and believed the ships foundered or were wrecked on an unknown shore. The vessels carried wireless gear but operators were young students rather than experts. The Ceresoles and Inkerman were each 150 feet long and built for ocean travel. The French government has been notified and names will not be released until all hope is gone.
