minority would not have been able to
maintain the long filibuster against
the shipping bill if there had been a
general demand for the legislation

One of the reasons cited by admin

the tension of feeling arising from
the European war.
II this were the only reason for
avoiding an extra session, it would
be sufficient. since a mere word of
