MCCORMICK RELIES
ON KNOX PEACE PLAN
Senator COnfers With Chair
man Hays Before Sailing
for Europe To-day.

Senator Medill Mccormick, who viii
weeks trip to Europe, conferred yester-
day with VIII Fl. Hays. chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
then gave an interview In which were
discussed the Treaty OF Versailles and
the Lea que OF Nations. as we'll as the
probable change in the relations of the
United States and Germany once the
Harding Administration has taken up
the reins. Senator Mccormick said his
journey is for the purpose Of getting a
much needed rest and denied that his
presence in Europe would have anything
to do with foreign relations.
The Senator Is of the opinion that
war may be declared at an end under a
form of procedure something like the
Knox resolution. Such an operation, he
said should not take any great length
of time. There will be time. he added.
to decide the question as to whether we
shall prefer to join with the nations
looking to a general agreement In re-
gard to world affairs or make treaties
in regard only to amity and commerce.
SO far as tne treaty OF peace III Soh
cerned, Senator Mccormick said he looks
to see It discussed thoroughly. He drew
attention to the fact that little discus
sion OF the treaty terms has taken place,
most Of the time having been taken up
with the league covenant.
ut IS stupid TO say that the Senators
who opposed the ratification OF the
covenant would have America isolated
he continued. America was world
power before the war. America was
recognized as such under Roosevelt
Americas influence was never so great
as when Roosevelt was President,
I'VE certainly intend that America
shall play her part in the world. and al
though we oppose an American guaran-
tee of empire, we believe In Americas
contributing her share for the main
tenance Of the peace OF the world.
1--WE don't believe that America has
the same interest. let US say, that the
French have in the Mediterranean or the
Balkans, or that we should assume the
same responsibility in that part OF the
world that France and Britain do. Or
the other hand, we have overwhelming
interest in the Caribbean and assume a
responsibility there TO the exclusion oi
France and Great Britain"
