Special to The Evening Journal. I
WASHINGTON, May 12.-If the
Knox peace resolution is reported by
the foreign relations committee Of
the House. it will be with substan-
tial amendments.
Some of these amendments, II n
said. have been suggested by Colone
Thomas w. Miller, alien property
custodian.
It is understood that Mr.. Miller
has found that the adoption Of the
resolution in its present shape wou1 ]

an extended conference with Chair
man Porter of the foreign relations
committee. Before seeing Mr.. Por.
ter he conferred with President
Harding. Nothing is known OF whaI
transpired at the conference witt
the chief executive. although Chair
man Porter admitted that he dis.
cussed with the Delaware man mat.

IL is believed that haste in adoptins
