Indignation Over England's
Selfish" Action RAM

LEWIS WARNS BRITAIN
Declares Albion Should Be
Careful Lest 1t Arouse
Esprit Of 1872"

Indignation over Great Britain's i'm
position of an embargo against Amer
lean manufactured goods was unleash
ed in the Senate yesterday when the
Weeks resolution, inquiring of the
State Department what steps. il any,
have been taken to combat the embar-
go restrictions. was called up.
The resolution was not disposed Of,
but the debate brought to the surface
the hitherto suppressed wrath OF
many Senators. who look upon Great
Britain's action as being not only un-
timely but actually unfriendly.
Every word uttered by Senators
who took the floor to discuss the res
olution was in condemnation of Great
Britain's course. None was raised in
defense of the embargo. No suEEes-
tion of justification was raised. Most
of the Senators who spoke took the
position that placing OF the embargo
against the United States at such a
time as this demanded retaliatory
measures by the United States of a
character equally stringent

Senator Reed, of Missouri; Senator
Ashurst. OF Arizona. and Senator
Thomas, of Colorado. all stalwart
Democrats; and from the Republican
side were heard Senator Knox, Of
Pennsylvania. and Senator Weeks, Of
Massachusetts. The principal speech
was made by Senator Reed, who -
though suffering from illness, held thS
floor foT more than an hour, bitterly
eXCoriating Great Britain.
Among the many striking and force
full passages in Senator Reeds speech
none attracted so much attention as
the following
Great Britain. that you went over
Wonder To save. Is proceeding TO rain
every advantIgc she can. Where she
admits your soldiers to save her,

ness.'" Unless this, is 6uile. he said,
the nation will be Obliged to extri-
cate itself from a circle of intrigue,
surrounded by a circle of steel and OF
fire formed by our enemies while we

Senator Lewis took a brief. but
vigorous part in the debate. He
warned Great Britain that her states
men should do nothing Ito arouse
the spirit of 1872" He declared it a
most inappropriate time for England

to be doubted whether VIC could have

Nothing can pay such debt. She now
desires that we should promise to lend

the same promise. II is one Of the fine
roversals Of history that the other ma.
