Pan Prompt Check For
NelU Pacifist Movement

international News Service
WASHINGTON, Sept IA. - The
anticipated drive Of the pacifst
element in the senate to force a re-
statement of Americas war aims
from the president is about to
begin. It will be checked promptly
ana defeated but the pacifists are
determined to lay their case before
the country.
The passage of the reyenue bill
has cleared the way for the peace
movement. Some hope was enter
tanned by administration leaders
that the presidents reply 10 the
pope would silence the peace
propagandists in the senate but
there is feeling among the pa
cifists that the president did not
meet their demands in his answer
10 the vatican.
Within a few weeks the pacifsts
expect congress 70 adjourn and 20
home for a short rest. This is an
added reason for bringing up the
peace resolutions now. they believe.
They are anxious to answer the
criticisms against them and make
their position clear 10 their con-
stituents before they face them in
person. Administration leaders are
just as anxious for a showdown on
the peace question, because they
feel sure any peace resolution would
be overwhelmingly rejected, and
congress determination TO see the
war through 10 the finish could be
strongly emphasized 10 the country.
The senate has four resolutions
relating 10 peace awaiting action
before IL. The authors Of these
resolutions are Sens. LaFollette,
Sherman. Lewis, and King Sen.
La Follette's resolution calls upon
the president for a reinstatement of
the war aims. The Sherman reso-
luton undertakes TO define the war
aims The Lewis resolution pro-
posed 10 sidetrack the whole peace
question and commit congress TO a
hands off, policy. The King reso-
luton expresses the determination
OF congress to back the president 10
