(Received July 10, noon.) WASHINGTON, July 9.
Senator Wheeler denounced the nomination of Mr. H. L. Stimson and Colonel Frank Knox to the Cabinet posts of War and the Navy. Senators Taft and Nye said that the confirmation of Mr. Stimson's appointment was likely to embroil the United States in the European war.
Senator Taft added that the course which Mr. Stimson advocated, and of which President Roosevelt sympathetically approved, logically demanded an immediate declaration of war against Italy and Germany. He claimed that President Roosevelt had "left himself clear" as an advocate of a declaration of war.
