FOREIGN POLICY DEBATE WASHINGTON, February 10. (Received February 11, at 1.50 p.m.) At the resumption of the foreign policy debate Senator Johnson called President Roosevelt’s Chicago address “ irresponsible.” He said he would demand further information on the United States foreign policy. “I am for a big navy,” he said, “ but I do not favour alliances or any understanding, because they mean war, and we would reap the same consequences as in 1918.” Senator Lewis decried the danger of the impression being spread abroad that the United States was divided on her foreign policy. “ These gentlemen who are crying out, who are they?” he said. “ Most of them are the very gentlemen who paraded the streets denouncing. President Wilson because he did not hasten this country into war. I denounce them.”
