KNOX PEACE PLANS MEET G. 0. P. FAVOR Senator Moses Voices Demand for Early End of War With Germany. CONFERS WITH BORAH WASHINGTON. Not. 10.—Re-estab-lishment of the United States on a peace basis by the passage of the Knox resolution, Tetoed by President Wilson, will be one of the first acts of the new Senate after the Harding administration begins to function on March 4, It was predicted today by Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, a Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Upon his arrival here Senator Moses confc-red with Senator W. E. Borah, Republican. of Idaho, leader of the Senate 'Trraconcilables.” unalterably opposed to the treaty and league of Versailles, with which group Senator Moses Is actively Identified. TO TAKE UP FOREIGN AFFAIRS FIRST. "Until this country Is re-established upon a peace basis, It would be useless to attempt to enact anew tariff law, or to try to revise our tax system, or otherwise to undertake any remedial legislation for which there Is such urgent need," Senator Moses said. "As long as our International or foreign relations remain In thel present state of uncertainty and lndofinlteness It would be folly to seek to readjust our domestic affairs. "How cnn we tackle successfully our domestic problems until the country has been restored to normal, sensible, practicable peace conditions? “Peace must be first re-eetabllshed and I have not the slightest doubt, with a change in administration on March 4, that one of the first acts of the new Senate will be to pass the Knox resolu tlon.” Other Senators, Republican and Democratic. returning here to prepare for the reassembling of Congress on Dec. 8. agreed with Senator Moses that there was little possibility of any tariff or other legislation until peace between the United States and Germany had been officially and finally restored. The final session of the present Congress, the sixty-sixth, this winter Is expected to be devoted almost exclusively to the passage of the supply bills necessary for financing the Government during the next fiscal year. The Republican program is to get those bills out of the way ao that the new Congress might get down to business as soon as possible. ASSOCIATION FEAN IN BACKGROUNDS. Re-establishment of peace by resolution Is favored by a number of Republican Senators besides Senator Mosea. Domestic legislation would then b taken up by them, and later on the question of the formation of anew association of nations for peace, which would differ materially from the League of Nations a3 constituted at Versailles. The session of the new Congress Is expected to continue from March or April throughout most of the remainder of next year.

It Is not an irretrievable mistake, however, for the nature of the appointments be makes will In a measure determine Its magnitude, If it assumes any at all.

HOUSE FAMINE ATTRIBUTED TO THREE CAUSES *Loan Sharks,’ Income Tax Law, Profiteers’ Greed Gets Blame.

C. Baird, president of the Chicago Association of Commerce, and Charles Bostron. building commissioner here, testtfled.

"Big estates and Insurance companies which in the past have Invested In real estate and mortgages have now not only stopped doing so, but are selling tbs ones they have and placing the proceeds in other sound securities,” Baird said.
