The Senate.
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN.

tion-the Knox resolution in par
ticular-will occupy the atten-
tion of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee. and probably the
Senate itself, during the coming
week. The committee will meet
resolution further, according to
present plans. Senator Knox has
expressed the hope that it will
be possible to report the resolu-
tion to the Senate, and that de-
bate may begin on Tuesday. But
some Of the Iemocatic members
of the committee are inclined to
doubt this. |They point out that
the Knox resolution will have to
peace resolution is put through

millions Of dollars. scized during
the war and now held as surety
against the claims Of American
citizens against the enemy ma
tions. would be turned back to its
owners. presumably. unless Con-
gress should specify otherwise.
Senator Knox has revised his
resolution to meet this situation.
and will lay the revised draft be-
fore the foreign relations COM
mittee.
Although Representative Por-
ter. chairman Of the House for
eign affairs committee. will in
troduce a peace resolution in the
House tomorrow. the House lead
ers have agreed with the senator's
that the Senate is to initiate &C
tion in tho matter. and that the
House will wait until the Senate
sends a peace resolution to it be-
fore acting.
The Senate disposed of the Co
lombian treaty. by which the
United States will pay Colombia
S25, 900. 600 to indemnify that coun-
try for the loss OF Panama and the
Canal Zone, ratifying 1t by more
than the necessary two-thlrds vote.
The immigration bill. passed by
the House last week. will be taken
up by the Senate committee ana
reported to the Senate without
delay. The Senate committee on
agriculture is working on the So
called packers bill. and it is be-
lieved that measure. too. Will be
reported promptly to the Senate in
practically the san-e form that 1t
passed last session.

What Congress Is Doing
The House.
BY Will p. Kennedy.

The Navy appropriation bill is
to called up in the House tomor-
row. The Army appropriation bill
will be reported to the full appro-
priations committee, and probably
will be reported to the House to-
morrow. 1t is the expectation of
House Leader Mondell that both
of these measures will be passed
during the week, but that they
will occupy most of the time of
the House throughout the week.
The Army bill as it now stands
does not include the 100000 for
the preliminary work toward de-
ve!opment of the water supply of
the District which was included
in the bill that failed last session.
The hearings on the Rogers
disarmament resolution. which it
was thought would begin tomor-
row. with Secretary of State
Hughes as irst witness. Will
probably have to be postponed.
Representative Rogers of Massa-
chusetts. author of the resolution
has an appointment to discuss the
matter with Secretary Hughes to-
morrow.
The Johnson immigration re-
striction bill was passed by the
House on Friday without a record

HYTHE. England, April 23.-Presi-
dent Harding's note to Berlin an
swering DR.. Simons' plea for media
tion seems destined to play a great
part in the discussions between the
French and British premiers and may
even bring about considerable altera-
tions of either or both of their
policies.
A large section of British foreign
office opinion which is said to be
gaining ground with Lloyd George IS
somewhat impatient of American in
tervention in European affairs. The
effect of these circumstances Is to
bring the British into alignment with
the French point of view. Lord
Derby, the British ambassador to
France. Is said to be the chief British
apostle of the view that Lloyd George
should support the French policy. 1t
is significant that he came to Hythe
today and had lunch with the British
premier
The fact that Frances pro-Turk pol.
icy in the near east is having consid-
erable success against the British pro-
Greek attitude makes the British pre-
, nier even more inclined to follow the
French lead in the Ruhr as part OF
general agreement.
President Harding's note caused con.
sternation among the French. The
Paris government wants the United
States to take an interest In European
affairs. provided the American atti-
tude comedies with the French view

Some difference of opinion exists in
French political circles as to exactly
what the American note means. Some
think it not only refers to mediation,
but summons Germany this time to
produce real propositions. Others
however. basing their opinions on
the text of the note and other re-
ports, are much upset at the thought
that President Harding is opposed to
the French plan Of invading Ger

Germany's new note to the United
States on the reparations question had
not arrived in Washington last night,
although press dispatches from Berlin
said It had been dispatched during the

Oficials at the State Department
prior to receipt of the German note
refused generally to discuss tho
reparations question. One thing ap-
peared certain. however. In connection
with tho reparations question SO far
as concerns Washington. That was
that should a reply be considered

the nature Of the reply would be laid
