The Knox resolution for immediate
peace with GerRauy may show ito
head in the senate Within dey or two
after the 1s1t session begins, although
now there % dome thought of pOstpon-
ing it. The high. hope of some Of the
senators Is that the President will rec
ommend the coupling up with the res
oIution Of q paragraph which will give
TO France a new, evidence of our
friendship for that country. No one
can tell, however, as TO. how this will
be, because there has been strong OPP
position in congress- to doing anything
with the Knox resolution except to
pass it in the briefest possible form,
a form which shall include nothing e.
cept q bald statement that peace ex-
lists with Germany.
