OF Citizens All over the Country
That Wilson Wants War,
Says Hastings.
AN EMBARGO is SOUGHT
Senator Wants Senders of TEL
egrams to Congress Re-
buked and Punished.


WASHINGTON, April 27.-sena-
tor Husting. Democrat. told the SEN
ate Thursday that the American EN-
barge Conference had conducted a
campaign In Wisconsin to induce
MN to support an embargo resolution
against shipments OF war munitions
to Europe. He submitted 900 let
tiers from Wisconsin citizens. which.
he said. all emanated from the Chi
cago headquarters of this organiza-
tion.
Senator Husting said that thous-
ands of kilograms deluging Congress
charging the president with seeking
war with Germany emanated- from
the embargo conference. He de-
clared there was II deeply laid plot
to poison the minds of the citizens
all over the country with the thought
that the president wants war when
every fact gives the lie to such an
assertion.
II think the government should
follow these messages to their pois-
onous source" continued Senator
Hastings. 1T must be plain to every
one that II this war continues. for
year or so and II these instances
continue there can be only one end.
II hope I may never have to vote
for a declaration of war. It Is only
a question Of how we are going to
keep peace. Are we going to have
peace by letting business OF this
kind continue unrebuked and I'M
punished?"
Senator Works. Republican, said
he had received many kilograms,
from California. but he felt the sub
ject should be left to the president.
He asserted that the situation was
extremely delicate and solemn"
