McLemore. The White House view
is understood to be that the record
ing OF n mere vote of confidence does
not touch the principle involved be-
tween this nation and Germany. nor
the principle that caused the upri5-
ing In the House lsat week.
This principle Is whether Ameri-
cans ahve n right to travel on ships
OF belligerent countries which are
armed for defense and whether Con-
gress intends to warn Americans not
to exercise their rights.
The adoption of the McLemore reso-
luton, or any similar resolution.
would be a reputation OF the position
of the Administration.
What Vote Would Mean.
The defeat OF such a resolution
would by indirection serve notice that
the Congress is squarely behind the
President and will go to any end In
preserving the rights at sea of Amer
lean citizens.
1t ia an expression on this principle
that the President desires.
A vote on such a resolution would
come on a proposition of this kind. as
suming the substance OF the McLemore
resolution will be followed:
Resolved, That the President be re-
quested to warn all American citizens
within the borders of the United States
frain from travelling on any and al
ships of any and all of the powers now
or in future at war. which ships sal
mount guns, wehther such ship be
frankly avowed a part OF the naval
forces of the power whose flag II flies
or shall be called a merchant ship, oI
otherwise: and whether such gun oil
guns or other armament be called of.
fensive' or 'defensive;' and in case
American citizens do travel on such
belligerent ships they do so at thcil
own risk"
Demands Definite Answer.
That % the sense OF the principa
provision of the McLemore resolution
and II is upon such an issue the Presi
dent Is understood to want Congress L
declare itself.
Granting that the Presidents viewi
have been correctly interpreted, tn,
White House vii not be satisfied with 8
