Washington Letter on War Obstructionists Punishment Bill
The House approved a Senate Bill to punish willful injury or destruction of war materials or war premises used in support of the war. Conviction carries fines up to 10 000 dollars or imprisonment up to thirty years, or both, to deter interference with US and allied war efforts. Senator Harding urged that financing for war is already provided by government departments, including the Shipping Board, War, and Navy, making amendments to the Federal Reserve Act unnecessary.
