KNOX RESOLVE
HELD AS CLUB
Act Employed by U. S. as "Ace-
in-HoIe" Pending Settlement
of International Problems.
By j. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service,

The Knox peace resolution is
viewed by Republican leaders of
Congress today as likely to be
played as an "ace in the hole"
until the international tangle over
PREPARATIONS and the zap and oil
mandates is Strengthened out to
the administrators satisfaction. 4
IS STRONG CARD.
The resolution is regarded by
them as a strong card" lin the
international game now going on,
the face of which has not yet been
fully revealed to all the partici-
pants.
According to several influential
Republican Senators, the resolution
IL being held back in the House,
following its passage by the Senate,
for a two-fold purpose:
First, to keep Germany on ten
terhooks OF uncertainty as to
when the United States really in
tends to formulate a peace pact
with her, and thereby persuade
her to be more amenable to rea-
sonable demands upon her for
adequate reparation for the world
war;
Second, to cause Great Britain
and France to bear in mind that
the United States has an instrument
ready with which to enter upon
negotiations with Germany for a
separate peace, and to thereby ms
duce them to give serious atten-
ton to any suggestions by the
United States as to how the repa-
rations muddle can best be clari-
ned.
