KNOX RESOLUTION
PASSES INTO HISTORY
Measure Delayed Indefinitely
By Agreement Among Re
publican Leaders
Washinpton, D. C.—Senate leaders op-
the league *>f nations abandoned
their f lan Sunday to try for a test vote I
in the Immediate 'uture on the Knox I
resolution, and turned their attention to}
crystalling sentiment behind Elihu :
Root’s proposal that the league covenant
be ratified with reservations.
The decision was taken as a forecast
that the league fight would remain in a
quiescent state during the coming week
and probably until the treaty is submit
ted for ratification about two weeks
hence.
There may be some debate on the sub- |
ject and prossibley an attempt to get
action on a substitute for the Knox
measure, but in the main the opposition
efforts seem certain from now on to cen
ter on the final ratification fight itself.
Republican Leader in a state
ment Sunday night announcing that the
Knox resolution would not be called up
Monday, said the decision had been
prompted by a desire to give undivided
3enate attention to pressing appropriation
bills. Other league opponents ar«- known
to feel also that action now would be in
appropriate since the resolution, intro
duced two weeks ago by Senator Knox,
Republican of Pennsylvania, was de
signed principally to request a provis
ion in the peace treaty by which the
senate could ratify the document and still
reserve judgment on the league*.
"I am very strongly in favor of the
Knox resolution,” said Senator Ix»dge,
in Us statement. “I think the leagui 1 nd
the peace with Germany ought not to hr
Interlocked. We ought to be abl to ratify
the peace with Germany at once and then
give the proper discussion to the cove
nant of the league of nations which in
volves the entire future of tlv* country.
”1 should like to bring the Knox reso
lution to vote at once, but after con
sultation with Senator Knox I have come
io the. conclusion that in the present sit
uation of the appropriation bills, and es
pecially the army bill now before the sen
ate, we ought not to press the Knox
resolution a** this moment because it will
lead to debate and nothing should be al
iewed to interfere with the passage of
the appropriation bills befofe July Ist.
\VV propose to pass them before that date
and shall sit night and day if necessary
to do it.
“I am more willing to accept this post
ponement. because the resolution is grow
stronger daily and the absolute ne-

cessitq of amending the league If it is to
Ibe made safe for the United States and
' for the cause of peace, has just been
; freshly demonstrated in Senator Root’s
letter with extraordinary force.”
Despite Mr. Lodge’s inference that the
resolution might b taken up later, the
general feeling was that with Sunday’s
decision the measure passed into his
tory. Besides the separation proposal it
contained. several declarations known to
be objectionable to some league oppon
| nents and the question of what should
be done with it has beer: a source of
many animated conferences. The pre
diction most commonly heard was that
if it ever were revived its friends would
rnodily it in several respects.
League supporters have maintained all
along that they had sufficient votes to
defeat the resolution and Senator Hitch
cock, senior Democrat of th** for*-wtn re
lations committee, said he never had ex
pected that the measure would be
brought to a roll call.
“I am not at all surprised,” said Mr.
J Hitchcock, ”at the disastrous failure of
; the Knox resolution. It has disappoint
ed its friends and divided the Republi
i can party.”
There still is considerable sentiment
j among league opponents for a resolution
ito declare the war at an end in order
j*o remove from the senate the onus of
• continuing war conditions while ratifi
: cation of th.* treaty is delayed. It i»
err erstood, however, that the leaders
wil! oppos any such step for the pres
