Senate Refuses to Strike Out
$11,00 0,00 0 Armor Plant Item
Washington, I). C.— An attack by
Senator l.a Kollette on the general
preparedness program as the product
of the agitation by moneyed Interests,
aided by the metropolitan press, pre
vented a final vote In the senate on
the naval hill. The Wisconsin senator
had not completed hla speech when
the senate adjourned, and he did not
Indicate how long he planned to con
tinue. The general belief, however,
was that a vote would be reached at
once.
Mott of the day was taken up with
an unsuccessful fight by Senators
Oliver and Penrose on the section of
the bill providing for a $11,000,000 gov
ernment armor plant. By a vote of
51 to 17 the senate defeated a motion
to strike out the section and then
voted down, 49 to 16, the Oliver
amendment to refer the armor con
troversy to the federal trade commis
sion for settlement.
Senator La Toilette contended that
neither conditions confronting the na
tion nor the testimony given before
the congressional naval committees
warranted the proposed navy increase.
"A total of $844.000,000 Is the load
that goes on the bended barks of the
American people," he declared. "Why
Is this to be done? If It Is necessary
now, why was It not necessary four
years ago? You knew then the naval
and military strength of all the for
eign countries. But then the Interests
had not been appealed to. Bethlehem
Steel at 40 was not Bethlehem Steel
at 840. The Interests behind this pre
paredness plan do not fear Germany
or England The plan m erely fits Into
their imperialistic schemes.”
The senator charged fliat men had
been forced Into preparedness parades
under threats of having their wages
reduced. Workingmen In Washington,
he said, had told him they marched
In the demonstration there for that
reason. The larger newspapers of the
country, he declared, were influenced
by the advantage o f the "Interests’’
behind the preparedness propaganda,
to devote most space to the testimony
of witnesses before the congressional
committees who favored preparedness.
