Copies of the note were distributed to embassies and legations, apparently directed by Carranza, amid debate over European influence and timing before U.S. political conventions.

Gardner Leads Losing Fight Over International Court Provision
Washington June 2 Representative Gardner of Massachusetts led a losing fight against the Hensley provision in the naval bill to authorize participation in an international peace court. The section was kept as the house acted as a committee of the whole. Strong supports of preparedness backed the measure, with Speaker Clark praising it as a key feature. The day saw gains for larger naval buildup including up to 5 million dollars for expansions of several navy yards and the creation of capital ships at Puget Sound Norfolk Philadelphia and Boston yards. An enlistment term reduction to three years and reserve entry after one year was adopted. The Hensley section would also set aside 200 thousand dollars to appoint nine men postwar to negotiate a peace-enforcing court. The final vote on the bill was expected the next day.
