TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL" 12, 1921 ALLIED CONFERENCE HERE IS SUGGESTED Hughes-Hoover Group With out Affirmative Programme. KNOX PROPOSAL FOUGHT Biiter-Enders Grow-In? In Xumbers and Strength and Middle Ground Hard to Find. BT MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright. H51. by the Kew York Eve nt nir Post, Inc. Published by Arrange' meat.) WASHINGTON. D. C, April 11. (Special.) All who want to have the most complete available understand ing of President Harding's position on foreign affairs should study what has gone on in Washington for the past week. During that week the president has . teen the center of two contending groups and the position he takes on foregn affairs registers the balance between the two groups as that bal ance stands for the present. Bittrr-Enderw Gala Strength. The group at one end is the same foreign affairs committee. More nar rowly, it is the so-called "Irreconcil able" group in the senate, the group, which has always taken and still takes the extreme anti-league of na tions and anti-treaty of Versailles position, but this group of irreconcil ables has now so increased its mem bers and its power and especially has so increased its strateglo position that it is almost impossible to make a distinction between the irreconcil able group as a group and the whole republican membership of the foreign relations committee. McCumber of North Dakota was the principal anti - Irreconcilable repub lican senator of the foreign relations committee and McCumber has now changed bis position in the den of the irreconcilable associates. Kellogg of Minnesota, a new member of the committee, who takes the place made vacant by Senator Harding, was also a reservation senator as distinct from the irreconcilables, but Kellogg is now nearer to hte irreconcilable position than' he formerly was. Sub etantially. the foreign relations com' mittee of the senate as now com posed Is an out and out thorough' going irreconcilable group, and lt( this group that has been and is at one end of the tug of war which cen ters in President Harding. Cabinet Croup at Other End. The other end of the tug of war is composed of a few members of Presi dent Harding's cabinet, especially Secretary Hughes, Secretary Hoover, togetner with a few other republican leaders, some in official life and some not now in official life. For purposes of convenience, here in Washington we speak of it as the Hughes-Hoover influence. As in many such contests the issue between two groups is one of din- rather than of clear contrast. To a certain extent, especially on the part of the senate, it is a matter of pres tige. The Best approach to defining the difference is to state the irrecon cilable position first. That position calls for the early adoption of the Knox resolution providing for a sep arate peace with Germany. . The Hughes-Hoover position does not negative, necessarily and finally, con sideration of the Knox resolution, but does want to postpone consideration . of that resolution until bo me other things have been done. Of course, if you go back far enough, as far ae last October, you will find both Hughes and Hoover as signers of that declar atlon of 31 republicans, who said that the best course was to preserve and ' build upon some parts of the league and tome parts of the treaty. Un doubtedly Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hoover will hardly go this far now. Dellberatloa Is lra-ed. At the present moment the Hughes and Hoover position appears to be that we should approach the whole problem of our foreign relations with deliberation; that it would unneces sarily embarrass us and greatly em barrass o'ur lata allies to adopt the Knox resolution, and now generally that time should Be given the state department to approach the allies diplomatically before everything is foreclosed, as it would be foreclosed by the adoption of the' Knox resolu tion. The tug of war between these two groups has been the most important thing in Washington for a week. In the early part of the week Senators seemed to be winning. During the past few days it has been apparent that the Hughes-Hoover group was winning. The fight te by no means over. Id the fight the senators have the advantage, having an affirmative programme. - They propose the Knox resolution. If the Hughes - Hoover group Is to have a fair chance before public pplnion, it should present an equally concrete affirmative pro gramme. For political purposes the best pro gramme the Hughes-Hoover group can devise Is a conference here in America between the representatives of the allies and ourselves. Only such a conference can consider ade quately the complex ' relations be tween the allies and ourselves and only 'by holding conference here in America will it be possible to dispel the deep suspicion our people have acquired of European diplomacy. Tour correspondent stated in a dis patch not long ago, March 15, every consideration points toward Wash ington as the proper place for the next step looking to disarmament, permanent peace and all the other purposes for which the nations must co-operate. The best way to allay the nnfor tunate suspicions that are aroused in America over the secrecy and all other aspects of the peace conference is to bold new negotiations in plain view of the American people and ac companied by the aerating processes of the American newspapers, proc esses which differ greatly from what happened in Paris.
