Now that the senate has adopted the
Knox peace resolution, it is up to some
one to devise our further procedure in
the matter of restoring our relations
with Germany. In the final debate on
the resolution Senator Lodge admitted
the Versailles treaty could not be so
amended as to meet the requirements
Of the United States, as President
Harding hoped, and that new treaty
must be negotiated. This, Of course,
is pleasing to the "irreconcilables,"
who now believe the Versailles pact
never will be resubmitted to the SEN
ate. And, as has been said before in
this review, 1t is difficult to see how
that treaty can be separated from the
League Of Nations covenant. The sit
uation is not satisfactory to the ma
jority of Americans, nor to our associ-
ates In the war. German officialdom
was glad to hear of the adoption of the
Knox resolution, though there is no
hope there Of an early resumption of
diplomatic and commercial relations
with America.

In the Republican presidential pref
erence primaries last year North Car
olina went for Hiram Johnson. In the
Republican national convention Dele
gate David II. Blair refused to abide
by those instructions and voted for
Warren G. Harding. A few days ago
President Harding nominated Mr..
Blair for the important Office of COM
missioner of internal revenue and the
nomination came before the senate in
executive session. There was a stormy
debate, the opposition being led by
Senator Johnson, who told of Blair's
action in the convention and asserted
that "a man who will violate his own
states laws is unfit to administer the
nations laws" A second objection
made by Johnson was connected with
tax returns. He said: "Mr. Blairs IA
ther-in-law is one of the richest men in
North Carolina and he sought, by
forming partnership with his family,
to lessen the amount of his Income
tax" The nomination was referred
back to the senate finance committee,
which, on Saturday, began a thorough
investigation of Johnson's charges.

President Harding won the first part
of his fight for big navy, the naval
committee of the senate having re-
ported the navy bill with provisions
for funds not only for completing the
1916 building program but also for a
personnel 10000 in excess of the 1O0,-
600 proposed by the house. Besides
this, the committee refused to incor-
porate in the measure the proposal of
Senator Borah authorizing and re-
questing the President to invite Great
Britain and Japan to a disarmament
conference in Washington. Borah will
make fight for his amendment on the
floor of the senate and Senator Pom
creme also has a similar amendment
which he will introduce.
The senate committee increased the
house total of $396,OOO,OOO to S496, $780,
600, or the same figure in the bill as it
failed In the senate last March.

understood Doctor Stresemann, leader
of the peoples party, will be chancel-
lor, and DR.. .Mayer-Kaufbeuren German
ambassador to France, will be foreign
minister. The collapse of the German
cabinet had no effect on the plans Of
the allies.
The United States doubtless will
take no part in the military occupation
of the Ruhr district, but it may soon
be a party to the enforcement of the
reparations terms. The supreme coun-
Gil has invited President Harding to
name representatives in the council
and the reparations commission, and
there is reason to believe the invita-
tion will be accepted. The administra-
ton, it is said in Washington, desires
to participate Ia the work of the COM
mission to promote American interest
in a permanent settlement.
Enraged by reports that the allies
pleblscite commission had recommend
ed that only the Rybnik and Pless re-
giOns in Upper Silesia be awarded to
Poland and that the rest of the terri
tory be given to Germany, some 10000
Poles, well organized and armed, in
vaded Upper Silesia, seized number
of important cities, cut the communi-
cations with Germany and at latest
reports were advancing on Oppeln,
north of the Oder river. The French,
British and Italian control officers and
their small bodies of troops were un-
able to cope with the situation and
the whole region was overrun, the
peasants there siding with the Polish
invaders. At Gross Strehlitz Italian
forces commanded by Colonel Bond,
an Englishman, resisted the Poles who
sought to occupy the city and an artil-
lery engagement ensued.
The German government, of course,
formally protested against this action
of the Poles to the allied governments,
and the latter took immediate steps to
regain control of the situation, declar-
ing martial law in the plebiscite zone
and sending troops against the in
vaders. 1t was admitted that it would
be hard to oust the Poles, and the al
legged fact that their course was tacitly
approved by the French authorities
there created considerable i'll feeling
between the British and the French.
Premier BRAND, however, asked Prince
Sapieha, Polish foreign minister, now
in Paris, to transmit to the Polish gov
ernment request to end the disturb
ances in Upper Silesia. When the al
lied supreme council adjourned its
London session 1t was said it would
soon meet again in Ostend to take up
the Upper Silesia question.
