Resolution OF
Peace Scored
ByHitchcock

washington. May 12.-Democratie
tack upon the republican peace res
,,ntion was launched today by sena-
,,r hitchcock of Nebraska, admins
,..tion spokesman who declared in
addressing the senate that the meas
.ra was futile and inconsistent and
;rimieal to the treaty of Versailles.
aThe mountain has labored and
.-ought forth a mouse" he said.
pGreat expectations for an act OF
,onsress that would force peace set
t,ament are to be disappointed. High
names that a resolution by congress
eould be made to perform the func-
tons of peace treaty are abandon
ed Instead of a peace settlement to
ha forced by resolution of manda-
tory requirements as the price of sew
sring commercial relations, we are
merely to repeal the war declaration,
declare the war at an end and invite
the president to negotiate separate
peace
Resolution is Fourth
Mr. Hitchcock cited three similar
resolutions which he said had been
sponsored since last November by
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania author
Of the pending resolution. The latter,
Mr.. Hitchcock said, is the fifth peace
resolution offered by the republican
leadership
IN reaching this important con-
clusion,p he said of the pending meas
ure, 'the supporters of the novel plan
have staggered from side to side over
a zig-zag course for nearly six
months"
Senator Hitchcock denied that con-
gress has the power to make peace
although it has authority to declare
war, The states voted unanimously
against giving congress peace making
jurisdiction, he said.
Senator KnoX's recent argument
that the war actually was at an end
was conceded by Mr.. Hitchcock, who
asked:
Action Unnecessary
Then why this resolution? Hostil-
tiles ceased is months ago and our
army was reduced to a peace basis.
Since that time commerce has been
resumed We have sold hundreds Of
millions of dollars worth Of products
to Germany and purchased much from
her. The war which the senator from
Pennsylvania proposes to end by this
resolution does not by his own admis-
sion exist.
What then is the senator from
Pennsylvania attempting to do by
this measure, which he calls reso-
luton to terminate the war? He is
making an utterly futile and hopeless
attempt to make a peace settlement
with Germany to take the place of
the Versailles treaty.
Instead Of declaring peace" he
SAID THE Knox resolution declares
the war at an end. Thus we have rais-

smallpox that have been reported from
this school section during the past

board first considered immediate clos

course of procedure was adopted aft

that there was no imminent danger
from contag1on.
