UNDEBATEABLE RESOLUTION
SILENCES THE PACIFICISTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—
Determined not to antagonize the
President, the Gore resolution prohi
biting Americans from travelling on
armed liners was laid on the table

NEW YORK, March 3.—The
question is asked whether or not the
I line-up of the membors of Congress
j is a reflection of the average nation
al sentiment on the Wilson foreign
policy and the paper answeo decid
! edly not, furthor asserting that the
| forthcoming elections will reveal
| that the strength of pro-Gorman
sentemont is strong enough to flad
a majority expression in the Senate
as well as the Houso.
Evening papers question this view
altogether and warn that if pro
Gormanism under any protonce is
made an issue that it will result in
a complete defeat of all those having
the temerity to introduce it as an is
sue in the national election where
It should have no place.
