March 12—President Harding’s foreign policy ia being shaped so as to avoid any action as might be construed as siding with Germany against the allies. The President and Secretary of State Hughes are believed to have adopted this policy as the first phase of the new American policy to ho defined. Because of the present international situation they realize that this country cannot afford a sudden break with its allies of the late war which would embarrass them in dealing with Germany, still the technical enemy of the United States. The first step in line with this policy was instructions to MaJ. Gen. Henry T. Allen, commanding the Army of Occupation in Germany, to abide by the decisions of the Interallied Rhineland commission in the establishment of a customs line along the Rhine to force Germany to meet reparation demands. Another evidence of the new administration’s policy is the decision not to withdraw the American troops in Germany immediately. A third piece of evidence Is the decision not to try to pass immediately the Knox peace resolution.
