KNOX FOR SPEECH

ator Wheeler, Democrat of Montana
said in a statement this week that
Secretary Knox should resign OF
be thrown out of office" for assert
ing, in a speech Knox made last
Monday in Boston that "the time to
use our Navy to clear the Atlantic
of the German menace is at hand. u
Wheeler said, 81 am informed that
the President of the United States
had recently given many Democratic
leaders in both the Senate and
House to understand that he did
not intend to take this country into
war. Yet, Colonel Knox, we find, is
advocating that the Navy start a
shooting war in violation of his
oath to support the Constitution, a
violation of the Constitution itself
If this is true, Colonel Knox ought
to be asked to resign, If he refuses
Congress should act. This is no time
to have as head of our great Navy
an irresponsible, erratic individual
to say nothing of one who makes
promises to the people when he seeks
confirmation by the Senate, only to
violate every promise in less than
a years time"
