PORTER-KNOX RESOLUTION IS MOOTED TOPIC War Cloud, Dispelled by Armistice, Replaced by Peace Cloud. * -CONTENTIONS DEVELOP By RICHARD UXTHICIM. WASHINGTON. July 12.—‘The peace that passes understanding,” as Senator ' Fietcher, Democrat, Florida, characterlied the patchwork Porter-Knox resolution, can now he listed as one of the “achievements” of the Harding Administration, but Just what it achieves no Democratic member of Congress pretends to know and the Republican members who voted for it hold conflicting opin ions. The war cloud which disappeared with the signing of the armistice has been replaced with a peace cloud which has only added confusion to the peace situation. Some of the outstanding contentions against the resolution as developed in the debate may L summarized as follows: 1. That it adds nothing to the State of peace which has existed since the armistice, because it settles nothing; that it is like a teeter totter, up and down, but without an . inch of progress. r 2. That President Harding shirked his constitutional duty of negotiating a peace and “passed the buck” to i Congress, resulting in this unprecedented act for which there is- no constitutional warrant. PROPERTY RESOLUTION CLOSES THE DOORS. 3. That the provision for holding alien property under the resolution until satisfaction shall be had of all claims of the respective governments is a contradiction of the provisions of the armistice: that it closes the doors of our own courts to American citizens with claims for damages against the German government. 4. That It ties the hands of our Government in future negotiations by surrendering our status as a victor In the war, ouV right to dictate terms of peace and to accept such terms as Germany is willing to grant or t become the aggressor in renewed warfare. *' 5. That it is a surrender of our substantial and vital rights for an empty word. 6. That it ia absolutely meaningless or deceptive. 7. That it does not restore diplomatic or trade relations. 8. That President Harding must now take the Initiative in negotiating a peace that will re-establish prewar relations, whether it is .called a treaty of peace or a treaty i>t amity and commerce. 9. That in the negotiation of such a treaty Germany has the “whiphand.” ,

Id. That it is a practical surrender not only of our substantial and vital rights, but also, as Senator Underwood said, “that it is a surrender of our national honor, our national rights, and the rights of the American citizen which our boys fought to protect.” SENATOR HITCHCOCK UPBRAIDS DELAY. Senator Hitchcock, opposing the resolution. declared if the President does not intend entering the treaty of Versailles he had lost four months' time in negotiating a separate peace with Germany, and he further asserted that the troubled condition of the world and the United States which was going from bad to worse is distinctly due to the delay in settling this question of peace. Senator U nderwood. Democratic leader, pointed out that it Was vastly different in making peace with a nation as a victor than coming to terms with a nation with which you are already at peace. He said: “Tomorrow when you attempt to adjust the differences between these two great nations you can only reach an agreement with Germany as far as Germany Is willing to give its unlimited consent, for if’yon go further you would have to yourself become the aggressor and to declare war and again dictate terms at the point of the sword.” After the statement that the provision for holding alien property was a contradiction of the provision of the armistice. Senator Walsh. Democrat (Mon tana), declared “that if the American Government is not willing to abide by the obligations it undertook with that event it is disgraced before the world.” Senator Wtisb. who is one of the ablest lawyers in ‘ the Senate, also enlightened Senator Lodge on the difference between a pension and a payment of damages. ASKS WHO IS SURRENDERING. Senator Pomerene, Democrat fOhiol. likened the passage of this resolution to the historic instance of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and General Breckinridge negotiating 'terms of surrender to General Sherman, when Genersl Sherman demanded, “Who is surrendering, vou or I?” V "If we pass this resolution," said Senator Pomerene. “I w>H want to know who is surrendering, Germany or the United States?” In a plea for the “old order of things,” Senator Jones, Democrat (New Mexico), asked, "Why can we not follow the paths which have been laid out by the fathers of our countrv? This is an innovation. Nothing of the kind has ever before been attempted. Why should it b attempted now? Has it come to this, that the great American Nation is willing to play politics with our foretgn relations and with the honor of our country?” Concerning the effect the peace resolution might have on the withdrawal of American troops on the Rhine, Senator Brandegee. Republican (Connetlcut), was convinced that they would be withdrawn at once, but this is a matter upon which Republican opinion iere is divided. There are 13,000 American troops in Germany which is obligated to support them. The expense of their maintenance Nto date is about s27o.o<v).nor). Whether they will be withdrawn before a treaty is negotiated or before payment for their maintenance no odc is authorized to say Senator Brand ogee was also quite sure that no treaty of peace would be necessary, but thought that a treaty of amity and commerce might follow, Represent,,. s.tjTe Towner. Republican (Iowa), declared in the House that President Harding would negotiate a treaty. Senator Brandegee admitted that Germany could not make any arrangements by a treaty which would be in conflict with the arrangements on which she has entered by the Treaty of Versailles. Now that the so-called peace resolution has been passed and signed, it is President Harding's move, because it is admitted that a traty of some kind must be negotiated and the initiative is now with the President. During the congressional debate on the resolution there was much talk about a treaty of amity and commerce, but the best-founded Information Is that Secretary of State Hughes is revising the Trpaty of Versailles and that Ms redraft of the treaty will be submitted for rtiCcation. Some hold the view that the league of Nations covenant will be subemitted with reservations, while others insist that tbe covenant will be eliminated. As the execution of the terms of the treaty is largely dependent upon the acts of tbe League of Nations, the elimination of the covenant would seem to call for •kill in diplomatic surgery o£ JUglrsr

order than any yet displayed by this administration in its handling of foreign relations. More light has been thrown upon the sinister and mysterious bill recently introduced by Senator Penrose authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to extend the time of payment of our war loans to foreign governments including interest and to receive bonds and obligations or , any foreign government in substitution of] those now or hereafter' held by the j United States under such terms and rates of interest as may he deemed for the best interest of the United States, etc., this time by Senator Underwood, the Democratic leader.

this debt of approximately $11,000,000,01)0 is absolute and plenary. Senator Underwood stated that the proposal to make us a clearing house for Kuropean natlotis had been rejected by the Wilson administration. “I want to know why this power is desired?” Le asked. “The people of the country rre entitled to know that and the Congress is entitled to know it. * • • I have pever known of a situation heretofore where any other nation ever owed an indebtedness to, this Government. * * • when the executive branch of the Government did not work out the terms of settlement first anil then submit the terms of settlement to the Congress.” CITKS INSTANCE OK ITALY'S PAYMENT.

paid this country on her indebtednessin other words we exchanged that amount of French Indebtedness for Italian indebtedness. and then said : “I am not prepared to put in the hands of any one man in tho United States, I would not be in favor of putting in my own hands the right to be ttie clearing house for $10,00(!OoO.UOO of the American people’s money. Now, if that is not what you want with this authority, I do not know what you want." Secretary Mellon, in his testimony before the Finance Committee, objected to any limitation of bis power In dealing with these foreign loans. The bill is still before the Finance Committee, aud is sure to cause much debate b*'ore It is | passed—if It is passed. There is no I measure before Congress, iu the opinion of Its opponents, more In need of publicity than this. • • * • • Whether or not the provision In the Army appropriation bill for a reduction ' of the enlist* il force to 1 .">O,OOO men by ■ Oct. 1, will l-e enforced, seems to- be a matter of doubt. President Harding lias ■ bluntly told Congrese that "I would not ; feel Justified In asking the Secretary of War to* enforce the dismissal of men ; who have enlisted for a definite term of service.” In other words. If the Army i Is not reduced to the number spec fled : by applications for discharge he will not l feel Justified in enforcing the provisions ■ of the act. j “There seems to be a moral obligation I involved,” adds the President, and these are fair words, but they take no account of the fact tha* enlistments for a definite term also include ttie provision “unless sooned discharged,” which would seem to relieve the*Goverunient of any obligation, moral or^ithorwise. The President also hints at tlie possibility of a deficit, although departments have been warned against creating deficits. These statements have caused some snr- , prise, as flip Army was red need for ; economy, but more especially as the President's statement is a notification to Congress that he may not feel Justified ; in obeying ouo of its mandatory acts.
