AMERICA'S ATTITUDE.
BLOCKADE CAUSING TROUBLE.
(Times and Sydney Sun Services.)
VANCOUVER, January 25.
A Washington message states that issues arising from the war were discussed without restraint in the Senate. Great Britain's interference with American trade was characterised as perpetual robbery. Germany was branded as being guilty of murder, and pleas were made for the removal of the embargo upon and foodstuffs.
Charges were made and denied that the British censors intercepted the American mails to take advantage of trade secrets. The possibility of a war to enforce American rights would not escape attention. The suggestion was countered with an appeal for calm deliberation to await justice from cooler heads after the belligerents had recovered from their war madness.
Senator Williams said that the Allies would not be bullied by the United State* unless they stood like a lot of whipped curs. The Congress of the Unified States was backed by an army of 90.000 men and the fourth largest navy in the world.
