This article discusses the matter related to international issues. The Russian situation demands immediate action on the part of the Entente Allies, particularly on that of the U.S. The passage of the Overman bill in the House, as it came from the Senate, by a vote of 295 to 2, placed on President Woodrow Wilson's desk a measure conferring upon him one of the greatest grants of power for which he has asked. The refusal of the House Republicans to carry their opposition to the point of voting against the bill was not merely recognition of the fact that opposition was idle; it was an acknowledgment that the real fight for modification of its provisions has been made in the Senate.
