Fall Puts War Bomb In Senate In Broad Powers Resolution
Washington February 25 A Republican resolution introduced by Senator Fall asks congress to empower the president to deploy US armed forces to protect American commerce property and lives and to defend merchant ships against searches seizures and attacks by Central Powers ships for six months or until the next session. The measure follows sharp debate over the international situation and would require disavowal by Germany and its allies before merchant ships would be allowed to submit to regular searches.
