WANTS VOTE ON WARNING RESOLUTIONS
President Delays Wasp Negotiations Until a Real Decision is Reached —Upsets Congress. Washington, March I,—President Wilson served notice on congress tonight that he will consent to nothing less than a record vote on the antiadministration resolutions to warn Americans off the armed ships of European belligerents before he goes on with the German submarine negotiations. No compromise proposition, sucn as a vote of confidence in the president’s foreign policy, will be accept able. Such an action, it is held, might be construed in Berlin as justifying the opinion that the president lacks the support of congress and his own party. • The president absolutely refuses to continue the negotiations with Germany until the attitude of congress is settled.
