THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. MAY 7. 1921. Knox Peace Plan Delayed Pending Reparations Move American Negotations cm In ternational Relations Are Rapidly Approaching Critical Stage. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Washington, May C.--American negotiations pertaining to interna tional problems arc. approaching a critical juncture and developments "m the next tew days are expected to determine, in a large ' measure, the course of the United States in making peace with Germany and participating in European affairs. While President Harding was con sidering only the invitation of the. allies to delegate an American rep resentative to the , supreme council, :he reparations commission and the touncil of ambassadors, it became tnown that the Knox resolution de claring peace with Germany has been sidetracked in the house, tem porarily at least, pending develop ments in the reparations controversy and the disposition of American con tentions in regard to national rights. Chairman Porter of the house ;ommittee ,on foreign affairs, who had a conference with President Harding, intimated that happen ings in Europe in the next week or two are likely to have an im pirtant influence upon action by the committee upon the Knox reso lution, recently passed by the sen ate, though he denied that the delay in consideration of the peace meas ure has been brought about by the administration.- Island of Yap Issue. While Mr. Forter was disposed to shroud this development in consid erable mystery and administration of ficials were uncommunicative, there is reason to believe that postpone ment of the Knox resolution is due to considerations arising from the reparations question and the demand of the United States for recognition by the allies of its rights in the Island of Yap and other mandate territories. If the United States accepts rep resentation in the supreme council and' in the' reparations commission and if the supreme council settles the Yap controversy to the satisfaction fo the United States the administra tion may exert its influence to pro cure changes in the provisions of the Knox resolution in important particulars. . There are f.ome important officials in the administration who would scrap the Knox resolution entirely and ratify the Versailles treaty with reservations ,in the event that the United States resumed participation in the reparations settlement and the allies yield on Yap. Situation Critical ' "I am giving careful study to the Knox resolution." Representative Porter said. "In the first place, there is no great need for haste, and we should consider very thoroughly be fore we act. Hie reparations situa tion is critical and developments of the utmost importance may come at any time. I have not yet heard it explained to my satisfaction why we should repeal the declaration of war against Germany, as the Knox reso lution does. I don't understand why it would not be sufficient to simply declare the war at an end. Further more, I want to make absolutely sure that all our rights and interests are completely safeguarded by the resolution." At one time the administration in dicated that the United States would not participate in European affairs at all, unless the allies recognized our rights in the mandate dispute, but the president's advisers now regard American interest in the reparations question far too vital lo warrant the entertainment of ulterior considera tions in determining our course.

Harding Pledges Nation's Aid to Disabled Yanks Tells Men at Walter Reed Hos pital U. S. Will Do All Pos sible to Restore Them. By The Associated Pre. Washington, May 6. President Harding gave his pledge, yesterday to the disabled soldiers at Walter Peed hospital that the nation would not fail in making them tit to cm brace "the opportunity which is yours" as citien. Accompanied by Mrs. Harding and Senator Underwood, the president visited the hospital on the occasion of an entertainment ' for' wounded soldiers arranged by the Alabama society. In exbrcsbing the wish that the maimed might be restored by the wave of some magic wand, the presi dent declared that the next best thing was for the republic to prove its gratitude by restoring the soldiers to a condition in which they might live as happily as possible. In Hearts of People. "I know this thought is in the hearts of the congress," he continued, "and I can assure you that it is in the heart of the executive and more, know it is in the hearts of the people." As one familiar through his father, a veteran of the civil war, with the trials through which the south passed and the division in the union which it created, the president stated it as his belief that In the half cen tury which has elapsed "the great scar has healed." "You soldiers from Alabama and Ohio and the other 46 states, have succeeded in wiping it out," he ex claimed. Regard America As Whole. That there was no more section alism in America now, he said, was due to the fact that the people of Alabama wanted tlie same things as the people of Ohio, and he added that as chief executive he was resolved to regard America as a whole. After his address, the president and Mrs. Harding shook hands with sev eral hundred soldiers. While prepara tions were being made, with several delays, for a flashlight photograph of the group, the president said smil ing: i was expecting a cnarge. , "'And I was expecting a discharge," a private nearbv replied. Welfare Bill Introduced. The new public welfare bill spon sored by thc administration, with a particular view of bringing about effective service for disabled soldiers of the late war, was introduced by Senator Kenyon of Iowa and Rep resentative Fess of ' Ohio. The bill establishes a department of public welfare to be headed by a cabinet officer to be known as the secretary of pulic welfare. Four dis tinct divisions of the department would be established with assistant secretaries in charge of each.

COMPARE OUR VALUES ALWAYS. Cincinnati, May 6. Practically all the building trades unions are willing to submit wage reductions to arbi tration, William Hutcheson, presi dent of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, announced last night, after a meeting of thr executive council of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor. , While the council has gone on rec ord against wage cuts ho said that the unions were willing to considered accept any equitable wage adjust ment that would be fitting in view of any reduction in the cost of liv ing. ' "We want to be fair and see build ing boom," he added. He declared building material con cerns apparently were attempting to direct public attention to wages in stead of reducing their prices.

Disagree ment on the naval appropriation bill between the senate and the house was indicated when Representative Stevenson, democrat, South Carolina, speaking in the house, urged mem bers to show "backbone" and refuse to agree to increases proposed by the senate. Kcpublicau leaders in the senate, he said, plan to support the action of their naval committee, in adding if lOO.OOO.WK) to the bill, which, as approved bv th house, carried approximately $396,000,000. Stressing the necessity for econ omy, he said that the tendency of congress is to blame department heads for running riot with expendi tures while paying too little atten tion to curbing extravagance itself. The bill carrying $49o,500,000 was presented in the senate yesterday by Senator Poindextcr, republican, Washington. Senator King, democrat, Utah, re served the right to file a minority report. r R (lil A Stupendous Purchase mid Sale of Men's Silk Neckwear 59c At " A most fortunate purchase of more than' 5,000 handsome, serviceable ties from a , large eastern manufacturer will be sold at less than the cost of the material that is used in them.
