NJ. Viviani's visit as France envoy
Is understood to have as one of its
primary objects an appeal against q
separate peace" with Germany. That
President Harding, however, has dis
couraged M. Viviani along this line is
apparent
The authority for this disclosure is
none other than Stephane Lausanne
editor of LIE Matin, who accompanied
NJ. Viviani to this country. M. Lau-
zanne himself had a conference with
President Harding.
There appeared in lie Matin a cable
dispatch from M. Lausanne, the follow
lowing excerpt from which was cabled
to this country;
"The American senate will vote the
Knox resolution for a separate peace
with Germany.
Neither President Harding, nor
Secretary of State Hughes, nor the
American senate will ever ratify the
Versailles treaty nor the league of
nations.
"The sooner the French people place
themselves before this reality, how.
ever hard it may be, the better Tor
France"
When M. Lausanne was asked
whether he confirms the accuracy OF
this excerpt from his dispatch he said:
81 don't recall whether l made the
statement referring to the Knox reso-
luton. l should have to consult my
cablegram to make certain"
did you make the statement that
the treaty and the league would not
be ratified?" he was asked.
Eyes, think that is correct" he
replied.
"And the statement about the
French people realizing this reality?"
ooh, yes, yes" said M. Louzanne.
That is quite correct"
Beyond this the French editor de.
,lined to discuss the situation which
he French delegation is studying. He
iaid he was too busy to go into details.
Enthusiastically the impression given
he French republic is that the vi
'iani delegation finds the Harding adj

There is no doubt that if the presi- !
lent disapproves the Knox resolution
will not be adopted by the senate.

SHOWDOWN NOTE
SENT TO BRITAIN
TEXT OF AMERICAN REPLY WITH
HEL0-HUcHEs ENDORSES
coL5Y's POSITION.
WILL NOT SURPRISE BRITAIN
Great Britain Considered Chief Nation
Which Must Be Convinced Of
Americas Rights as One
Of the VlctorS.

Washington.-The British govern
ment should receive soon e reply from
Secretary of State Hughes to the last
British note on Mesoptomaia.
While the text of the American re-
ply, like that of the British note, is
withheld for the present, it is known
that Secretary Hughes strongly in.
dorses the position taken by Mr.. Colby
IN his note to Lord Curzon last fall.
The formal statement of the posi-.
ton of the Harding administration on
the question of mandates will not
come altogether as surprise to the
British foreign office, since Mr..
Hughes some time ago, permitted the
announcement to be- made that the
United States does not concede that it
has sacrificed a single right or inter-
est by reason of not having ratified
the Versailles treaty.
1t will, however, make 1t necessary
for Great Britain definitely to recog-
nize these rights of the United States
as a co-belligerent and cO-victor in
the world war, or categorically deny
that such participation entitled Amer
lea to a voice in the disposition of en-
envy territory.
In its former communications Great
Britain apparently Endorsed the prin-
ciple of equal opportunity" in man.
date territory, but at the same time
adopted policies which in active prac.
tice would close the door to any ma
ton not a member of the league of
nations and many member nations.
The latest British note was left un.
answered by Mr.. Colby il order that
his successor in office might have
clear field in taking up with Great
Britain and associated nations the
questions of American rights. In view
of the incalculable benefits which |
flowed to the allies because Of the
participation of the United States in
the war and the refusal Of this coun-
try to ask any share Of the spoils for !
herself, allied opposition to the few
claims advanced by America, which
are designed to benefit all other ma
tons, does not square with the re-
peated protestations Of allied states.
men that Americas part in the war
can never be forgotten.
In both diplomatic and state de-
partment circles the impression pre-.
walls that the real contest over the
question of Americas rights must be
threshed out with Great Britain
rather than with any other country.
