Similar letters will be sent other

with European powers and enter into
alliances or understandings with

Borah cited the killing of American
soldiers in Russia as an instance "of

foreign policy and enter into under
standings and combinations which
would embroil us in all European
conflicts and turmoils." Pointing out

ASKED Lowden:
Are you in favor of any such

Borah said he asked the questions
because Americans have right to
