PEACE RESOLUTION RECAST FOR HARDING' Introduced in the Senate Without Any General Definition

of Foreign Policy.

Washington.—The first direct result of President Harding's enunciation of intcrnaUonal po icy In bis addrras Congress appeared when Senator Knox of Pennsylvania <fft-red In Uie senate his resolution declaring the war between the United States and the Teutonic powers a', an end. It had been revised to meet the President's views, and In the form lu which It was presented Is mrr?-ly a deelaratory announcement of the ending of the war, with a provision for praaervlcg all the rights obtained by the United Slates under the vrmlstiee of November U, 1018. and the Versailles treity Formerly Intended to contain a definition of International policy, the resolution e* revised Is shorn of anything savoring even of suggestion to the executive to adopt a foreign policy nlong Indicated lines. President Harding has made It plain that any I'cdaraUon of that character would be const rued by bint as a trespass on the executive - * constitntiunal prerogative, and Ur. Knox showed his desire to co-operate with *.ue President Ly revising his

measure accordingly.

Tit-- development of the administration's international policy Is more ‘mmediately bound up in the efforts 1* which Secretary Hughes is now engaged to obtain the aesent of the four principal allied power* tc the princi- , pie of the confirmation of American j rights growing out of |•artl(4patl<■D i In the World Wnr. whlrh Mr. Il-tglies 1 laid down in his note to these powI cm Concerning the Bland of Yap. : Nothing developed to indicate that tun Harding-Hughe* pulley wilt not have I tin support of th« IU publican majori- | ty In both houses of Cong-exa.
