that the administration's foreign

that those policies included the COM

Hitchcock Believes Ad-
ministration Has Plans
Under Cover.
SEES DELAY AHEAD
FOR FINAL TREATY
Democratic Leader Ready
to Further Policy of
World Cooperation. :

Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock. OF
Nebraska, President Wilson's chief
supporter in his tight for passage
of the Versailles treaty with the
league of nations covenant. re-
turned to Washington yesterday
after a months absence.
The Senator said It was his opin-
ion that the Republican admins
tration has some plan in the back
ground that does not consider the
Knox resolution for a separate
peace. The Indicated policy is to
delay action for several months. he
pointed out. declaring that would
be inconsistent with any idea Of
a separate peace such as the Knox
resolution as, vetoed by President
Wilson contemplates.
Democrats for League.
The Democrats so far as he
knows will not antagonize any plan
of world cooperation, whether 1t
be the amended league of nations
or something else of the kind. the
Senator said. He was aware of no
conferences or prospective confer
ences by the minority members of
the Senate concerning peace legis-
lation. The inclination was to
await the initiative by the admin
istration. he said.
He called attention to the fact
that the Versailles treaty is not
before Congress. having been de-
feated by the Republicans, and that
the only way in which the Demo-
Gratis who fought for II before
would have an opportunity to re-
new their fight would be in the
resubmission of the measure by the
President. That such action on the
part of President Harding was
likely, he could not say.
1T seems to me-" he said, that
the matter of supreme Importance
is to get into cooperation with
the other nations of the world
now for the purpose Of rehabilita-
ton and to restore stability. This
administration for purely cold
olooded business reasons and by the
logic of events. it seems to me,

Laying aside all questions of

adopt some policy of cooperation
with other nations Of the world.
whether it is through the original
league of nations or some other
means"
That a continuation of the war
status between the United States
and Germany for several months
pending disposition of the Knox
resolution and development of a
permanent international policy will
figure extensively in the discussions
next week there seems no doubt.
The quickest way to settle the
peace question without making II
worse. is the best. said a Repub-
lican Senator. but 1t is by no means
the easiest way. for peace could be
settled by the mere adoption OF a
resolution such as that Of Senator
Knox. II it were not for the compli-
cations that would follow. Some
times, he said, it is better to make
haste slowly.
