NO SEPARATE
PEACE UNLESS
PEOPLE ORDER
How President Will Deal
With Resolution Not
Clear.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
iCnani,I ta Tho Arruc

Washington, d. G., May A.
Neither President Wilson nor the
Democrats in the senate who fol
low his leadership are particularly
pleased with the changes made by
Senator Knox in the resolution de-
claring a state Of peace which was
passed by the Republican majority
in the house of representatives, but
it is a fact that the Knox proposal
is less Objectionable than its pre-
decessOr and makes more difficult
veto message from the White
house.
Two courses of action are being
debated by the wheth
er to center their opposition on the
Knox resolution and by continu-
Gus talk delay action until after
the two political conventions next
month have nominated candidates
for the presidency. or to let the res
olution pass-for the Republicans
have the votes-and thus be able
when the conventions arrive 10
point out that the joint resolution
doesn't make peace.
Realize Weakness.
Senator Knox, who was once an
attorney general and secretary OF
state of the United States, rewrote
the house resolution with an eye
to future criticism. He recognized
at once that the congress could not
bind the executive branch of the
government as to the kind Of treaty
of peace if should negotiate and
that it would be the simplest thing
in the world for President Wilson
to veto the resolution and cite
weighty precedents to support his
action. So after repeating all the
war time legislation of a domestic
character and forbidding. more
over, the disposition of the Ger
man property in the United States
taken by authority of the trading
with the enemy act, another con
gressional privilege. the Knox reso-
luton would merely request" the
president to open peace negotla-
tions with Germany. Insofar also
as the resolution declares that the
United States doesn't waive any
rights in the meantime which il
might get under the treaty OF Yer
sailles, this too, would merely be
expression of an opinion by con
/ gress and would of course no!
actually bind a foreign government

branch of the United States govern

a few stubborn contests are inevi-
table. Mexican agents here persist
in their assertions that further
cases OF government troops declin-
ing battle will hasten the end OF
their struggle.
So far as indicated by informa-
ton available here, either from Of
fetal or rebel sources, the two cam
paigns begun by Carranza have
been failures. His affort to attack
the Sonora troops from the state OF
Chihuahua has been brought to an
end by the detection OF every gar
rison in that state, and the expedi-
ton sent from the south through
the state of Jalisco to check the
southwark movement OF rebels
through the states of Sonora, Sina-
loa and Nayarit has not succeeded.
largely because of the harassing
BY small rebel groups. In the state
of Sinaloa there remained a fed
eral garrison at Mazatlan, but too
small, military observers say, to
assume the offensive or to with-
stand heavy attack.
Near Strategic Point
The occupation OF Juarez makes
it possible, in the opinion OF Amer
ican military men, for the rebel
leaders to divert their Sonora
forces to the route from Chihuahua
towards Torreon, long regarded the
most strategic point in northern
Mexico.
Carranzas strength in Coahuila,
his own state, appears almost un-
impaired. With rebels on the east
and the west. the only outlet to the
American border left him Is
through Laredo and Eagle Pass.
However, there is nothing in the
reports received here that has
caused American officers to believe
CarranZa will be forced to surren-
der or run for a considerable per-
iod Of time.

Re-stating the position of the board,
the governor declared 1t had never

that it was without authority to deny

Governor Harding recalled his re.

believed it vital to extend credits to

cotton. This, he said, should be quail

the creation OF artificially high prices.
He added, however, that it remained
for the loaning bank to determine
where curtailment should be enforced
even in this respect.
