PREPAREDNESS IS URGED
BY SENATOR WILLIAMS
Mississippian Believes Bullying of
United States by Foreign Ma
tions Will Follow War.

Supporting the Presidents, foreign
policy, Senator John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi yesterday afternoon ad-
dressed the Senate in advocacy of ma
tional preparedness. The Mississippi
senator is in direct conflict with his
colleague, Senator Vardaman. on this
question, who is strongly opposed to
preparedness. Senator Williams speech
came during the debate over the Fall
resolution calling upon the President
for information regarding Mexico.
Senator Williams commented at
length upon questions arising from the
European war He said an embargo
on exports of munitions would ham
string" the United States more than
any other frst-class power.
Senator Borah wanted to know
whether the Mississippi senator
thought that after the war some Euro
pean government would attack the
United States out of pure spirit of con-
quest.
the first place." Senator Williams re-
piled. "I am anticipating bullying first
and am anticipating the fact that the
American people will not consent to be
bullied."
Plenty to Quarrel About, He Says.
He declared there would be plenty to
quarrel about, referring to repeated
torpedoing of unarmed. merchant ships
by one nation and similar acts by the
ally of that nation after questions in
volved apparently had been settled by
Diplomacy.
"They are in the field of diplomacy now,
and the President of the United States
has very wisely attempted to keep them
within the field of diplomacy" he added
II am sorry for one that Congress had to
meet right now. l think the management
of our diplomatic affairs would have been
more wisely handled by a man long
visioned, and deep visioned, and tender
yisioned. He has all three of them. They
are apt to be mismanaged when they are
made game of battledore and shuttle
cock on the floor of these two houses,
even when l am one who plays the game.
1.-The theory that Europe will be too
exhausted to attack after the war is
false" he said. "One European power
already believes that we have made our
selves the allies of the other belligerents.
Unless we have an army and navy that
will make them doubt that they can con-
troll US, after the war will come the bully
ing. If we are wise and patient enough
to stand the bullying. it will be all right,
but the American people are not of that
type Already we have been bullied by
both sides The belligerents have violated
every rule of international law with re-
gard to our commerce"
