PEACE STATUS
REMAINS VERY
MUCHTANGLED
Resolution Veto Sure But
Grounds are a Matter
Of Doubt.
RY DAVID LAWRENCE.
tSuecial to The ArguS},


Washington, d. c., May l5.-Pres-
ident Wilson is sharpening his
veto pencil for the Knox peace res
olution. In its present form, even
as amended by the senate. 1t is OBJ
iectionable 10 the White house. but
there have been so many vital
changes since the measure passed
the house that it may be simple
repeal OF wartime laws when it
comes out Of the conference be-
tween both houses OF congress.
Therefore judgment must be sus-
pended until the resolution actu-
ally comes to the White house, but
unless further amendments are
made it will be vetoed and with the
veto message will come the treaty
of Versailles as the untulfilled task
Of the senate.
Interest centers more upon what
ground the president will choose
for his veto message than in the
possibility that he might sign the
resolution and point TO its made
quacy by referring the treaty OF
peace itself TO the senate for ac-
ton. Generally speaking, the pres
ideut is said 10 contemplate veto
ing the peace resolution on the
ground that il distinctly interferes
with the constitutional prerogative
OF the executive in making peace
with foreign government, While
there might be no objection, for in
stance, in the repeal OF war time
laws from a domestic viewpoint,
the president could contend that il
depriyes him OF one of the most i'm
portant weapons needed in nego-
tiating peace with a foreign govern
ment For one thing it endeavors

Lodge Anticipates objection.
Senator Lodge himself has
shrewdly Withdrawn from the Knox
resolution the request for sepa-
rate peace with Germany. thereby
eliminating one patent objection
! which the executive could have
raised. namely that the resolution
is an effort TO force the hand of the
executive in negotiations with a
foreign government by introducing
Legislative stipulations bearing upon
the negotiations themselves. Sena-
tor Knox, too. recognized the flaw
in the house resolution when he
eliminated the ultimatum requiring e
Germany to give America certain
commercial rights-this being a
matter, too. that could only be ar
ranged by communication between
the American executive and a for.
e.gn government.
But the dilemma for the presi.
dent. it is recognized. comes from
the fact that house Democrats were
willing to support resolution sim

debate today on the measure which
comes TO vote at p. N. today.
Only a few addresses will precede

ton.

agreed with Senator Knox. Repub-
lican. Pennsylvania. author of the
resolution. as to the necessity OF
peace. Senator Pomerene said adop-
ton of the resolution would be
worse than useless.
If adoption were not Illegal. il
would mean the presidential dis
approval. the Ohio senator added.
1t will be an attempt By legisla-
