SAYS NE WSPAPERS
STRIVE FOR WAR
Sen. Stone Declares False
Statements Are Printed to
Arouse Sentiment.
Associated Press Service

Associated Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
senate turned its attention TO the
international crisis again Friday. a
debate on the administration bill 10
curtail activities Of foreign agents
developing many references TO the
situation with Germany and drawing
from Chairman Stone of the foreign
relations committee. a bitter denun-
citation Of newspapers which cir
culate false statements in order 10
create a sentiment for war.
There is no shadow Of doubt in
the mind of any fair thinking man. 3"
said Sen. Stone. that there is a
cabal of great newspapers in this
country seeking TO create sentiment
and cOerce the government Of the
United States into an attitude Of
hostility with one Of the benigerent
powers. believe any one who makes
such false statements is a public
enemy and that he should be pun
ished."
The foreign relations chairman
made this statement i'm discussing
a section Of the bill which would
make it a crime TO wilfully or know
ingly under oath make an untrue
statement intended to influence the
measures or conduct Of a foreign
government in relation to any dis
pute or controversy with the United
States. He argued that the same
punishment should apply to any per-
son, including editors or publishers,
who knowingly or wilfully made
such statements, not under oath.
Sen. Cummins objected vigorously
TO the section which would author
iZe the president TO use the army
and navy 70 seize or detain NUM-
tons of war or ships carrying them
where they are designed to be used
TO violate American neutrality. He
proposed TO amend the provision so
that the armed forces could not be
used "at a time or i'm manner that
would make il an act of war"
81 am not going TO be rushed off
my feet by the hysteria that is in
the air" said the Iowa senator. Il
do not for myself want to give the
president power TO use the armed
forces of the United States to cap
ture a ship of foreign nation under
such circumstances as would make
il an act of war"
