ble senator if he would propose to have
the punifihnient of the laeh introduced in

ceive that all I meant is to have the sailor
treated like any other citizen. Now, is
the senator ready to say that he is willing
to have the whoh^ I’nited States placed

our navy? If so, then there would be
some consistency in his position.
