The fact that the White House now

marily to defeat autocracy and mill

ties in that direction through the state

Due to the absence of many senator's.
the senate tomorrow Is expected to
temporarily neglect the Knox resolu-
ton and attend to unfnish business.
In the house. however, the bill pro-
vidng for the establishment Of sep
arate peace with Germany and Austria
and the creation of European trade
council. will be introduced by Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican of Ini-
nois. The trade council he proposes
would he composed OF the president,
and the secretaries of state, treasury,

quired to work out and report to con-
gress a plan for securing the resump-
tion of commercial intercourse with
European nations.

The presidents rapid recovery of

that Easter week will be chosen for

resolution. Senator Borah, Repub-

concilahles. said this afternoon that
the coming week would see an EFFORT
in the senate to obtain consideration
OF the Knox resolution.
The general opinion in congression-

his pleasure at being able to take

as he has already suggested a great

that he will seek to determine the
pre- -election tendencies of the public
