Extra Session Plans Shadow Wilsons European Trip
After an interview with the President, Senator Martin of Virginia says the President plans to go to Europe after March 4 and will not call an extra session until his return. He predicts home around June 1, leaving Congress with pressing bills unresolved. The peace treaty work may overlap with a hustings debate instead of Senate discussion. The President seems to prefer full freedom from domestic debate abroad. Carranza’s letters to Kaiser are returned with notes that say party left for parts unknown, hinting at tensions.
