"Great Britain's open refusal to support France in her 'invasion' of Germany has been made in order to sustain the Muller government in Germany. The danger which Great Britain, the United States and Italy saw in France's precipitate use of force to sustain the treaty which Germany had undoubtedly broken was that it would aid the revolutionists in Germany, stregthen the hands of Legien, the labor leader, and cause a fall of the Muller government."

"Two years before the United States joined the Allies in the world war the navy general board prepared a comprehensive plan for war against a 'central power' of Europe. Rear Admiral F. F. Fletcher today told the Senate investigating committee. It was replying to Rear Admiral Sim's charge that when the United States entered the war the Navy Department had no 'well-considered' plans or policies for fighting Germany.
"Many such plans had been made in the past. Admiral Fletcher said, but the plan referred to 'covered every phase of naval operations under the assumed conditions of war.' It dealt with the mobilization, organization and composition of the fleet., its dispositionedand employment, protection of the coasts, bases of supplies on the United States coast and in the West Indies, routes across the Atlantic and the enemy's forces and probable courses of action, he said, and comprised nearly 300 type-written pages."
