Williams Resigns From Foreign Relations Panel Over Shipping Bill
John Sharp Williams attempted to resign from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in protest of its stance on the administration’s mediation policy and the plan to purchase ships abroad for US transport of cotton and other goods. The effort was rejected, Williams alone appealing, and he left the chamber. The bill would allow the Treasury to buy ships of belligerent powers, sail American goods to Europe under the US flag, and deem noncontraband any interference on the high seas unless noncontraband is involved. Williams said the measure targets immediate needs and could be reverseable within four months after peace. He predicted Britain and Germany would shift naval movements while the war dragged on for years depending on public sentiment.
