Message to Congress Will
Make Plain That U. S.
Cannot Build Upon It.
KNOX RESOLUTION LIKELY
TO BE DELAYED IN ACTION
Chief Executive Favors Measure,
But Does Not Want Attitude
Toward Germany Misconstrued.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.


President Hardings message to Con-
gress one week from tomorrow will con-
tain a fateful utterance on the league OF
nations, it was predicted in authentic
official circles today. The President in
tends to finally dissociate the admins
traffon from the present covenant OF the
league of nations. He will make it un-
mistakably plain that the United States
cannot build upon it.
While no reference may be made to
the Knox resolution for separate peace
with Germany, it can be said that the
President has no objection to the intro
duction of the resolution and its REFER
ence to the committee on foreign reia-
tons, but it is well understood that It
IL his desire that it shall not be speedily
acted upon.
He prefers that it shall remain in
committee until the administration has
evolved a definite plan about German
peace.
Decision Not Yet Reached.
And today the administration has not
reached a decision as to when ana now
peace with Germany shall be declared.
The Knox resolution is therefore De
lieved to be scheduled for deliberate
consideration in the COMMITTEES before It
comes to the floor of the Senate for
action upon it there.
1t is believed that a majority of the
Senate is in sympathy with the Presf-
acting upon the treaty. The best
Judgment of well informed senator's
is that it will not come out OF COM
mittee until the Presidents policy has
been formulated, with the concurrence
Of Secretary of State Hughes, and
ia~f fo6 IN
PresiAent Wants Lapse In Action.
Senators Lodge. Knox and Bran
degee are classed as being in favor
OF early passage OF the resolution.
although Senator Lodge is not ex-
pected to oppose the judgment OF
the President that delay Is advisable
President Harding Is Understood to
luton shourd not come Immediately
after his definite renunciation Of the
existing covenant Of the league of
nations. ~ such close connection
might be misconstrued rs to this ma
tons attitude toward GermAny's full
sailles treaty and her cooperation
with the allies.
vfv1n1i Delieved Content.
One aim OF the administration ID to
prevent Germany getting the erro-
neous impression that, whatever stand
the United States takes toward the
league. the treaty and peace. there 10
any weakening Of the moral support
Of the allies by the United States.
n Viviani 10 believed to be thor
0ughly content with the situation as
tt stands. taking his comfort in the
assurance uneQuivoca1ly given Of the
position Of the United States toward
the allies and in support of France.
He would like 70 see section 5 of the
original Knox resolution restored
the promise Of aid to France in case
Of an attack by Germany. This is a
question for the Senate committee and
the Senate to decide.
