Congress Shocked by German Plot To War On U S
Washington March 1. Congress rallied behind the president after the revelation of Germany’s plan to unite Japan and Mexico to attack the United States. Senate Republicans ended the filibuster, while House action on Flood’s bill to arm ships proceeded under fast track. Secretary Lansing stated Japan had no knowledge of the plan and Mexico was not expected to join. The Zimmermann note was discussed in the Senate with Lodge seeking official confirmation and details from the president.
