Washington.-The British govern

ply, like thats OF the British note, is

n in hislnote to- Lord oCurzon last falkA
The formal statement of the posi-
tion of the Harding administration, on
the Question of mandates win not
come altogether as a surprise to the
British foreign office since Mr.,
Hughes some time ago permitted the
announcement to be made that the
United States does not concede that it
has sacrificed single right or inter-
est by reason of not having ratified
the Versailles treaty.
It will, however, make 1t necessary
for Great Britain" definitely to recog.
nize these rights of the United States
as a co-belligerent and co-victor in
the world war, or categorically deny
that such participation entitled Amer
ica to voice in the disposition of en-

DEMANDS OF ALLIES FOR iNDEM-
NIFTY WILL BE SUPPORTED
BY AMERICA.
vIvIaNI PLEASED BY ACTION
President Harding's. Administration
Intends to Stick by Former
Allies in Attitude Toward
Defeated Country.

Washington.-After q meeting of the
cabinet. at which foreign affairs were
discussed, the statement was author
lied in a high government quarter
that the United States intended TO stick
by her former allies in the present at
titude toward Germany. Outside Of
is primary importance as showing the
policy of the new administration at
Washington. the statement has q par
ticular application to the mission to
this country of Rene Viviani, former
Premier of France, who was sent by
the French Government to lay before
President Harding and others the des-
perate situation in which France finds
herself as a basis for obtaining the
moral support, at least of America.
/ As one official orally and INFORMAL
ly explained the position which Hard-
ing's administration has determined to
follow:
'Our attitude is that we consider
that Germany should acknowledge its
moral responsibility for the war and
must pay reparation to the limit of her
ability to pay. The idea that we fought
throughout this war and that we would
aid Germany in escaping its obligations
is absurd and ridiculous
To say that yiviani is pleased over
this voluntary exposition of the gov
ernment's position is putting it mildly.
Seen by a representative Of the press,
( ne expressed linsSl3 as being greatly
moved by what he termed this vigor-
Gus and straightforward American pro-
nouncement. While this is gratifying
in the highest degree he said, it is not
"a real surprise. as it stands on all fours
with what he had so far learned in his
attempt to present the cause and plight
of France. Vivianl said it shows that
America has the most intelligent grasp
of and deep sympathetic interest in
1 the European situation as seen from
! the allied viewpoint. 1t shows, he
added that America is still keeping
the faith as she did in the war and
| that America is not leaving France in
the lurch
I To most of those he has seen in the
I short time he has been in Washington.
I Viviani has expressed the position in
which France finds herself To Senator
/ Lodge, as chairman of the Committee
| on Foreign Relations and leader of the
+ Senate, he expressed at great length
the aspirations of France and detailed
| the troubles that have. beset her and
which threaten her very existence.

LAUzANNE, FRENCH EDITOR,
WIRES GLOOMY NEWS TO
HIS PAPER.
FEARS A SEPARATE PEACE
Harding Can Kill or Pass Knox Res
olution--ResponsiblIity, Say Lead
srs, Will Be on His Shoulders
Alone.

WASHINGTON. Although the United
States has notified Germany that she
must pay to the fullest extent of nes-
ability fer damages done in the war,
developments here indicated that the
Harding administration il continuing
to disregard appeals of the allies for
hearty cooperation under the Yer
sailles treaty, .s..n ...4.t.....
M. Viyiani's visit as France envoy
Is understood to have IS one of its
primary objects an appeal against a
Separate peace with Germany. That
President Harding, however. has dis
couraged NJ. Viviani along this line is
apparent. u
The authority for this disclosure is
none other than Stephane Lauzanne,
editor of lie Matin, who accompanied
M. Viviani to this country. M. Lau-
zanne himself had a conference with
President Harding. N as.
There appeared in lie Matin cable
dispatch from M. Lauzanne, the follow
lowing excerpt from which was cabled
to this country:
"The American senate will vote the
Knox resolution for separate peace
with Germany.
Neither President Harding, nor
Secretary of state Hughes, nor the
American senate will ever ratify the
Versailles treaty nor the league of
nations.
"The sooner the French people place
themselves before this reality how
ever hard it may be, the better ror
France"
When NJ. Lauzanne was asked
whether he confirms the accuracy OF
this excerpt from his dispatch he said:
81. don't recall whether made the
statement referring to the Knox rese-
luton I should have to consult my
cablegram to make certain
did you make the statement that
the treaty and the league would not
be ratified?" he was asked. M
Yes, l think that is correct he
replied.
and the statement about the
French people realizing this reality,
."Oh, yes, yes,' said M. Louzanne,
That is quite correct"
Beyond this the French editor de-
clined to discuss the situation which
the French delegation is studying. he
said he was too busy to go into details.
Unlnistakably the impression given
the French republic is that the vi
viani delegation finds the Harding ad-
ministration Contemplating the, re-
establishment of peace" with. Germany
by means of the Knox resolution.
There is no doubt that if the presi-
dent disapproves the Knox resolution
it will not be adopted by the senate.
If he favors the measure it will he
put through / congress. Harding,
therefore. must take the blame, no
matter how strongly he might desire
to have the responsibility laid upon
