Resolution in Senate.
 to End the War
Introduced by Mr. Knox Similar to the One Vetoed by President Wilson.

Washington. April 1s-Tn line with the recommendations in President Harding's messlge, resolution to end the state of war with Germany ,and Austria was introduced today by Senator. Knox. of Pennsylvania. It isI similar to the one passed previously by congress and ve- toed by Former President Wilson and will be reported favorably in a few days by the foreign relations committee and then brought up for debAte after dis posal of the Columbian treaty. accord ing to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, ,, republican leader.
 Senator Knox's new resolution differs l little from that which he sponsored be- fore. As suggested in President Hard ing's address yesterday. it contains no general dec,aratioh of American policy | with respect to future action by the Unit 1 ed States, but is confined to measures for
 ending technically the state of war with
 the imperial German and Austrian gov ernments.s It also would reserve to the United States all rights and privileges
 under the treaty of Versailles and .tc
 alien enemy property seized during thu war.

 ..Impossibility of continuing under present conditions of revenue and ex- penses" was given as the reason.
 In explaining deficits which the com pany claimed these roads have suffered, the announcement declared that during 1917 and the two preceding years. the net income or the amount in excess of all charges excluding dividends approxi- mated s4.600.000 per dnnum During 1918. on the contrary. there would have oeen a corporate deficit of $S,000;O00, and during 1919 of $s,900,o0o If the -1ads had not been operated by the fed ersi government and deficits paid by tbe federal treasury. Excluding federal pay ments the deficit for the year 1920 was t3o.1S0.O0o."
