FOR EARLY VOTE IN HOUSE

Washington, March President
Wilson decided that he cannot pro-
ceed with the German submarine
negotiations while dissension in con-
gress weakens his position before
the world, so he called for a show
down on the pending proposals to
warn Americans off merchant ships
Of the European belligerents armed
for defense.
Making it clear that he considers
the president, and not congress, Is
charged with the conduct of the for
eign relations of the United States,
he wrote a letter to Representative
Pou, acting chairman of the house
rules committee, asking him to pro-
vide parliamentary means for bring
ing the agitation out into the open
in the house for full discussion and
a vote.
Administration leaders, working
steadily for the last week strength
ening their lines and counting on
the support of the Republicans, now
are so sure of their position that
they plan to end all agitation with
a vote Of confidence in the presi-
dent.
