EMBARGO OH KlUWIONS DEMANDED OF WILSON BV LEADERS IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Take the profit out of war munitions manufacture or accept responsibility for an arms embargo. Although not couched in that language, this is the effect of the message that has been sent to the white house by influential leaders of the senate and house. They have made it plain in unofficial messages to the president that sentiment "back home" was resentful over the uncontradicted assertion that the nation is getting '"rtchthrongli'ffs 'munitions export trade. And the president has been told very quietly that a properly drawn internal revenue tax, which would make the munitions manufacturers contribute largely from their profits to the expense of his preparedness program would be unpopular with both Democrats and Republicans alike throughout the country. There is no doubting the strength of the pro-embargo advocates in congress. Their leaders are among the most influential men in both chambers.

This and the strong pro-German feeling in the great central west where many citizens believe that American munitions are prolonging the war, has shown conclusively to the administration leaders that heading off embargo legislation will be most difficult by any other method than to agree to tax heavjly manufacturers of that class of materials.
