SENATE PEACE PUN ANNOUNCED BY NEW Knox Resolution to Pass, He Says, With Warning America Will Fight Any Aggressor. Washington.—A new national policy in world affairs was outlined by Senator New, Republican, of Indiana, as tbe international program to be adopted hy the Senate Committee on Foreign Kelatious la approving the Knox reaolutlon for u separate peace between the United States and Ger-

many.

The senate- program proceeds on the theory that not onlj are the Treaty of Versatile* and the covenant of the league of Nations dead beyond the realm of ratification by the senate, but that It will effectively dis|Kise of talk about America becoming party to the "aasodatiun ot nations," the favorite phrase of President Harding in his campaign addretites, or any "enlangllng alliance." That program contemplates a statement by tbe senate In the Knox resolution hat -a lt shall be tbe declared policy of our govcrrmenL in order to meet fully and fairly our obligations to ourselves and to the world, that tbe freedom and peace of Europe being again threatened by any power or combination of powers, the United States will regard such a situation with grave concern as a menace to lf» own peace and freedom, will consult with other powers affected with a view of devising means for the removal of such menace and will, the atcessuy arising In.tbe future, •.•airy out the same complete accord and co-operation with our chief .'«-belligercats for the defense of dviibuttlos."
