SEPARATE PEACE MYTH GERMANY
 HARDIvC'S WAY IRa TREATY TANGLE
PRESIDENT SEEMS TO
 FAVOR IT

Washington--While Preident Harding has not yet undertaken any serious discussions of the peace situation with Republi- can leaders of the Senate, there has been a widespread belief among them, that conditions are so shaping up that separate peace between the United States and Germany is going to prove the only way out of the treaty tangle.
 Nothing definite will be done in the matter of shaping up program until it is seen what propositions the foreign envoys have to offer. MT Viviani, the French representative is due to arrive in Washington before the opening of the new Congress to Nations. He probably will be fol- lowed by representatives of other countries.
 President Harding himself has em- phasized that he has not taken up seriously the treaty tangle with his erstwhile colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has nevertheless discussed the situa- 1 tdon generally and informally with several Senators. and those with whom he has talked have come 1 away from the White House convinc- 1 ed that Harding never will resubmit the Treaty. either with the covenant
 or without it, or with or without ! aricIe 10.
 ] It is generally believed in Wash 1 ington that M. Viviani is coming to the
 Harding that the SenaAe take the 1 treaty and ratify it with any ,cha ne7ssS 1 it sees fit, but ratify it in some way
 CT other, so as to preserve an out l ward senlblance at least of the war l time Solidarity of the great powers. If M. Viviani does make some con- | crete proposals along these lines 1t l is the belief of a. number of inf1uen- 1 tiaI Republican senators that they will | be turned down at the White House 1 The status of the Knox resolution
 declaring an end to the state of war | with Germany is unsettled. It will not be introduced however, until there is some clari1cation of the Rhine
 situation. While present indications
 make separate peace appear not
 unlikely, there is no desire on the
 part of either the White House or
 the Senate to provide Germany with
 any moral support by widening the
 Franco-British American breach just
 when military n1anoeuvers are in
 progress again. The Knox resolution for the present has been pigeonhoIed-
 It may be pulled out at any time or
 it may stay there, depending upon the. | turn of events.
 l These senators who incline to the
 belief that a separate peace will, in
 the last analysis, prove the only way
 out, consider that the situation has l resolved itself into three proposi-
 tions. These, as outlined today are:
 First, shall we enter the League of
 Nations, and ratify the treaty; sec ond, shall we drift along indefinitely
 in a technical state of war with Ger
 man; third, shall we make peace with
 Germany on terms satisfactory to l ourselves ?''

ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT IN
EUROPE EXPECTED TO AID
SITUATION IN UNITED STATES

Washington, June 6.-Evidence OF
economic improvement in Europe,
which has received confederation in
q statement by Secretary OF Com
merce Hoover, is expected 10 help the
relief OF agricultural and industrial
depression in the United States.
European countries. according 70
Hoover. have made progress lately.
The repeal OF Governmental restric-
tons on the consumption OF food and
other articles indicate that Europe is
getting back TO work and stimulating
production. All plans for selling Eu-
rope this country's surplus ag-icul-
tural and industrial products have
been predicted on the necessity OF es-
tending long credits. With Europe al
ready owing large sums 70 the Unit
ed States and continuing IN state
OF economic and political uncertain
ty, it was difficult to arrange for
further credits.
1.-The food situation Throughout
Europe" Hoover said in q statement
Monday, has shown steady progress
with each succeeding harvest. Al the
time OF the armistice the civil popu-
1ation Of every country was under rig
i'd rationing systems. Al present the
countries where partial raticning is
still carried on are Germany, Poland,
Lithuania, Esthonia, Latvia. Czecho-
Slovaks, Austria and Hungary.
Therefore rationing mas been
abandoned as to approximately sc
per cent of the total population and
in States where il still exists, the ra-
tioning has been blamed on certain
com modities."
Hoover predicted that with the har
vest Europe's economic recovery
would have proceeded so faT that ra-
tioning could be practically abandon
ed in all countries except possibly
Austria. This would mean, ne said,
that Europe had accomplished her
first great Fundamental step in re-
cuperation.
Hoover expected Bolsheyik Russia
from the territory, where improve
ment had been registered.
