Peace between the United States
and Germany and Austria will be es-
tablished, according TO present indi-
cations, by the passage, early in the
extra session OF Congress that begins
next Monday, of resolution similar
TO that which originally was intro
duced by Sena tor Knox fPa.) IN the
last Congress.
| AS finally passed at the last scs~
sion and vetoed by President Wilson
the Knox resolution did not contain
| Article OF the original draft. due
to opposition on the part Of the For
eign Relations Committee of the Sen
! ate. That article, which amounts 10
promise that the United States viii
| intervene again in Europe If civiliza-
tion should be threatened as 1t was
/ by Germany in the last war. is likely
/ TO be reincorporated in the new Knox
resolution.
There have been rumors that new
Article has been prepared that
will meet with vigorous opposition In
the Senate because Of the fear that
it Will commit the United States TO
the protection Of the territorial IN
tegrlty and political independence OF
the nations who are parties to the
present world settlement, virtually in
the same manner as the obnoxious
Article Y. of the League Covenant
would have done.

resolution when il finally is agreed
upon by President Harding and the
Republican leaders of the Senate and
/ House viii be in a form which will
satisfy the majority Of both branches
OF Congress.

vision which may he construed as a
new version of Article X. Of the
League Covenant. there Is no ground
whatever for believing such a course
will be proposed by the Administra-
ton.
Officials at the Capitol realize that
In a matter of such Importance con-
sideration must be given TO the ad-
vice Of the President and Secretary
| Of State. not only In the considera
ton Of the resolution but IN its Ian
guage This is especially apparent IN
