CONFEREES ADOPT
MODIFIED FORM OF
PEACE RESOLUTION
Retain House Declaration
With Safeguards of
Senate.

Senate and House conferees have
finally reached agreement on the
form Of a resolution to establish
peace with the Central Empires.
Leaders of each chamber expect
immediate ratification of the deci-
sions Of the conference, whicn
means the resolution win lack only
the signature of President Harding
to become effective.
Declares Peace Exists.
The resolution declares a state
of peace exists between the United
States and Germany and between
the United States and AUSTRIA Hun
gary. 1t attempts to reserve to this
country all rights it acquired either
through the armistice or the treaty
Of Versailles and other treaties, and
specifies that sequestered enemy
government until claims are ad-
justed.
The resolution, as finally agreed
upon, is a compromise between the
Knox resolution, passed by the Sem
ate, and the Porter resoltion, adopt
ed by the House.
House conferees agreed that the
Senate provisions regarding Ameri-
can rights should, in the main.
stand as written in the Knox reso-
luton. The Senate spokesmen, in
turn, agreed to the establishment
of peace by the simple declaration
that it exists, as the Porter resolu-
ton provides, instead of through
a repeal Of the declaration of war,
which was the method of the Knox
resolution.
G. o. r. 3Most Amicable.,
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, said
Republicans reached an agreement
most amicably." The Democratic
members later were called in when
the formal vote was taken on the
agreement.
President Harding Is expected to
affix his signature to the resolution
as soon as 1t is ratified, in con-
formance with his campaign pledge
of immediate peace by resolution.
The wa ythen will be open for ne
gotiation of a new peace treaty
with Germany, or ratification of
sections of the Versailles treaty.
The President has not definitely
indicated his intention in this direc-
tion, although he has expressed be-
lief certain sections of the ver-
sailles pact may be found accept
able.
