KNOX RESOLUTION GOES
OVER UNTIL MEASURES
OF APPROPRIATION PASS

Washington, June Ex-senator Knox
republican, of Pennsylvania. announced
To-Day that after appropriation bills had
been passed he would attempt to obtain
vote on his resolution expressing un.
Willingness to accept the league of ma
tions covenant as an inseparable part of
the peace treaty.
The stormy senate fight over the
League of Nations, which has ragged vir
tually without interruption since the ex.
ira sessions began five weeks ago. an.
parently had reached a truce today
while the leaders on both sides realigned
their forces for the final struggle over
the covenants ratification.
With abandonment of the plan to call
up today Senator knoX's resolution on
the subject, there appeared little like
Iihood that issues of the controversy
would appear on the surface of senate
procedure during the coming week. and
perhaps not until the treaty is submit
ted for ratification early in July.
Senator Knox said the decision yes
terday not to press for immediate ac-
ton on the measure did not mean
that there was any intention to aban-
don it. He issued this statement:
"Of course | intend to press my reso.
luton to vote and a vote after July
will be just as good as a vote now. |
The single question raised by the reso- |
luton is as to whether the league should |
receive further consideration by the |
people before the senate advises its
inclusion in the treaty. This can be !
done without delaying peace a mo-
ment, and can be accomplished by ex-
change of diplomatic notes at any
time.
TT will be remembered this proposi.
ton of separate consideration was pre-.
sented to the senate December 3. 1918.

of the shortness of time remaining, feel
it their duty to reply at once. OF the
