Letter on France to Front

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The SEN
ate is to be asked to repudiate Presi-
dent Wilson's statement that the gov
ernment of France is IN the hands of
militarIsts and imperialists.
Senator Mccormick, Illinois, a repub-
lican, expects shortly to introduce a
resolution, he said today, ststing it to
be the sense of the senate that, if France
should, in the future, be unjustly at
tackled by a foreign foe, the United
States would view such an at ack with
great concern and would not stand by
idly, and further that dt should be
smade clear that the senate does not
concur in the assertions of the presi-
dent in his letter to Senator Hitchcock
Interest in McCormick's proposal es-
pecIal1y that part of it virtually pIedg-
ing the United States to stand by
France, was intensified by the news
from Berlin that the German govern
ment had fallen into the hands of the
nilitarists and kaIserites.
