TRADE BAN TO co

State Department Takes Is
, sue with Palmer on
Blockade End.

The State Department stands pat
on the official agreement received
here from the Feace Conference that
the blockade will be lifted and trade
resumed with Germany the moment
it becomes known to the nations in
terested that Germany has ratified
the peace treaty.
In this conclusion the State Depart
ment and. as far as essentials go.
Senator Knox are opposed to the un-
derstood opinion Of Attorney General
Palmer that there can be no re-
sumption of peace functions until
after the Senate has ratified the
treaty.
Knox holds that when three of the
big nations ratify the treaty peace
then becomes an accomplished fact
The State Department and other au-
thorities do not discuss this particular
opinion. but it is evident that on the
main proposition, namely, the lifting
of the blockade, the State Department
and Knox are not far apart.
