NUMBER 134
IDAHO HOUSE CONDEMNS
ARMED SHIP FILIBUSTER
Against Attitude of 12 Senators Who Prevented Congress from Enacting Measures to Uphold President in Present International Crisis.
BOISE, Idaho, March 6.—The legislature went on record yesterday in condemning the 12 United States senators who blocked, by their filibuster, passage of the bill seeking to give the president power to arm ships. The resolution was introduced in the house by two republican representatives, Miles of Nez Perce and Daughters of Kootenai.
"We condemn," the resolution states, "in unmeasured terms the attitude of the 12 senators who, by their filibuster in the senate of the United States congress, prevented that body from enacting measures to uphold the hands of the president in the present international crisis. This is not the time American prompt the act of members of the national congress, thereby throwing a stumbling block in the way of our chief executive in his efforts to protest the rights of American citizens on the high seas, as guaranteed to them by international law."
Four in Opposition
But four house members voted against the resolution, Grice of Shoshone, Hussman of Idaho, Lehrbas of Bannock and Thorne of Washington. The three former are democrats, the latter a republican.
Grice declared his opposition to the shipment of munitions from the United States to  Europe, which resulted in the leaving of "widows and orphans," he said.
