Knox Peace Resolution
Also to Include Austria
Senate Committee Takes Up
Measure, Planning Favorable
Rcport Next Week

From The 9'ribune's Washin oton Bureau
WASHINGTON. April 2l.-Distinct
signs that peace resolution will be
adopted at an early date by both houses
of Congress were apparent to-day. The
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
took up the Knox resolution, and
although the final disposition of it was
put over until next week, the sentiment
in favor of reporting it cut was gen
eral. At the same time the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs deter
mined to make the peace resolution the
first thing on its program.
The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. after considering the Knox
resolution, decided in favor of broad
ening the section relating to alien
property. 1t was pointed out that this
country has Austrian, Hungarian and
Polish alien property to deal with as
we'll as German and that the language
of the section should be broad enough
to cover all cases. Senator Knox was
designated as a subcommittee to re-
wise the section and report back to the
committee Monday
The resolution will be nroadened to
cover peace with Austria as fully as
peace with Germany
