RESOLUTION MAY &c
DELAYED THREE MONTHS
Harding May Use Separate Peace
As Leverage. to Secure His
Pet Scheme

Washington, April 4.-Althousn
the resolution declaring a separate
peace with Germany is to be rein
troduced at the coming special ses-
sion of congress, the present plans
Of Republican leaders as they shape
up after a long succession of con-
ferences, include no provision for
hurrying the measure to 4 roll call.
In some quarters close to the ad-
ministration 1t was said that the
declaration, passed by the preced-
ing Republican congress and ve-
toed by President Wilson, might
rest on the calendar of deferred
business for period of ninety days
or more, while President Harding
tries out his preliminary ideas for
establishing an Association of
Nations.
How far the president himself
may have corcurred in such pro-
gram was not revealed, but some of
those who have his confidence point
ed out that with the resolution
hanging fire in congress the ad-
ministration might be in position
to exert an enlarged influence in Sc
curing acceptance of it's peace plan
by other nations.
Would Still Be At War
Technically, this government still
would be at war with Germany, ex-
ercising the full privileges of a
belligerent in the arrangement of a
nalf peace settlement. and still ac-
tually associatd with the allies.
In such circumstances it was sug-
gested, the possibility of separate
peace might be used automatically
along with the foreign loan situa-
tion as leverage to securing of ac-
ceptances of Mr.. Harding's plans
for his peace association.
1t is known that the subject of
a peace declaration has occupied
the active interest of administra
tion officials recently, and that sew
eral alternate plans have been urs-
ed upon the president. Saturday
he held long conference with
Senator Knox. Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, author of the original sepa-
rate peace measure, and today he
talked with Senator Lodge. Of
Massachusetts,, the Republican sem
ate leader and Senators Watson, Of
Indiana, and Brandegee, of Con-
nscticut, both prominent in Repub-
lican legislative management.
Geddes At White House
During the day the British am
bassador. Sir Auckland Geddes, al
so called at the White House and
although it was said the visit was
one of courtesy, the two held an
extended conference.
The question of declaring peace
by resolution has figured persist
emily in gossip among officials here
regarding the visit of Rene Viviani,
the former French premier, but 1t
was not indicated tonight what part
the advice of the allied governments
might have played in influencing a
decision. Those associated with
Mr.. Viviani repeatedly have denied
that the real purpose of his pill
grimage here was to plead that
there be no separate peace. but he
is known to be hopeful that the
peace settlement may provide for
some sort of cooperative agreement
with the allies. 1t is taken for
granted that he has urged these
views in his conversations with
American officials,
