IF EUROPE'S
.IS
WILL BE
MENACED
PEACE
0" S,
CONCERNED
KNOX PEACE RESOLUTION WILL
CONTAIN THIS PROTECTION
PROVI80.
By John M. Gleltsner
(United News Staff Correspondent.?
WASHINGTON, April 5. The Knox
peace resolution, to be reintroduced
by its author as soon as congress
meets, will contain a declaration that
If the peace and freedom of Europe
is again menaced and civilization is
again threatened the United States
will feel itself concerned.
The clause will state that If such
4 contingency arises the United
States will consult with the powers
affected, and will, if there is neces
sity, "carry out the same complete
accord and cooperation with our
chief co-belligerents for the defense
or civilization."
Aside from this, according to pres
ent plans, the resolution n introduc
ed, will not differ from its original
form. It will give no assurances to
France or other ullled powers that
America is standing with them in
.their efforts to compel Germany to
pay reparations.
Senator Knox dooH not wish to bur
don his resolution with other mat
ters than the simple ending of the
state of war with Germany. He does
not object to a declaration from con
gress on the subject of reparations,
calculated to j;lvo morul Hupport to
Franco, but he does not feel thnt such
a declaration should be Incorporated
in his peace resolution. Knox and
other Influential republicans consider
the communication of the American
government to Germany on repara
tions, and the recent pronouncement
from tho stnto department, as suffi
cient evidence that no comfort will
bo extended to Germany in ntlemptoi
evasions of responsibility for tho war.
"The stntoment of policy, which s
to be Included in the peaco resolu
tion, originally was offered by Knox,
in Juno, 1019, when he endeavored
to huvo tho peaco treaty proper di
vorced from tho covonant of tho leu
guo of nations. Objection developed in
the committee on foreign relations at
that tlmo and it was eliminated.
Tho clauso reads :
"That finally, it shnll bo tho declar
ed policy of our government, in ordor
to meet rully and fnlrly our obliga
tions to ourselves and tho world, that
tho freedom and peaco of lOuropo be
ing again threatened by any powor, or
combination of powers, the United
States will regard such a situation
with gravo concern ns a menace to Its
own peaco nnd froodom, will consult
with other powers affected with a
view to duvlslng means for tho remov
al of such menace, and will, tho neces
alty arising In I ho future, carry out
tho Humo complete nccord and cooper
ation with our chlof co-belligerents
for tho defense of civilization."
Tho clause, as drawn originally, was
calculated to dispel the fears or tho
allies (hat America was withdrawing
her support from thorn and seeking to
evade world responsibility. It is argu
ed that it will serve the same purpose
again.
Meantime, senators are without as
surances from the White House as to
what President Harding proposes to
do about concluding peace with Ger
many, as nearly as can be ascertained.
The president, apparently, is delay
ing an announcement until the last
moment, In the belief that changed
conditions might force an alteration
of his plans. This is the construction
placed upon the White HouBe silence
by leading republicans, who say nev
ertheless that they -have no cause to
believe President Harding has chang
ed his view that peace immediately
bo made by declaration.
How soon tho resolution will he
passed is problematical. The consider
ation of the Colombian treaty will de
lay It for eight days. Perhaps by that
time a tariff bill will have been pass
ed by the house and will be urged
for Immediate consideration in the up
per chamber. Senators haven't receiv
ed indications that President Harding
desires to delay the resolution but it
will be referred to the committee on
foreign relations which can readily
postpone its action.
iLeading republicans have explain
ed to M. Vivlanl, special envoy of
France, that any attempt to block the
Knox resolution is hopeless. Vivian!
has been told it is simply an attempt
to "make the record conform to tho
fact, and enable America to resume
relations with Germany as England
nnd France have done. He has been
assured that pussage of the peace res
olution does not Imply lack of moral
support to France nnd that it does not
mean support to Germany.
It was indirectly suggested from a
French source that a declaration on
reparations might be included. The re
ply to this wus that such a declara
tion does not rightfully belong in the
peace resolution. (
In his discussions, Vivlanl is said
to have given the impression he has
abandoned any hope that America
might enter the league of nations.

"The Torrent"
Playing at the Casino Wednesday and Thursday this week with
Eva Novak is an unusual picture. It tells a story of two lovers
alone on a Pacific island under extraordinary conditions and
of the uncertainty that awaits them on their return to civiliza
tion. It was written by George Rix, whose adventure stories
are based on experience, and was directed by Stuart Paton.
Did you see "Male and Female," "Down to Earth," "Swiss
Family Robinson?" Yes! Then see "The Torrent"
150,000 in cash, according to a check
made of the money in the postofflce
today.
As Blsbee is within 15 miles of the
Mexican border it Is believed that the
Mexicans have made for the interna
tional line.
According to Bailey's story the Mex
icans entered the postofflce last night
while he was working. They covered
him with their guns and forced him
to open the safe, threatening him with
death if he refused.
After he opened the .safe they
bound and gagged him and hit him
over the head with an iron bar.
He was found in his office tha
morning in a serious condition. at is
thought that he has a fair chance of
recovery.
The loot obtained consisted of more
than ?40,000 in bills, Intended for the
payroll of the Bisbee mines, and ap
proximately $10,000 in gold and sil
ver coin.
Sheriff Wneeier is a former officer
of the Arizona state constabulary and
flo3 lived in Cochise county for many
years. He left here with the statement
that he would get the bandits dead or
alive.
