I Mast Proceed Carefully. In his consideration of the peace res olution, which some of the Senate lead , : era want to press to an early paasage in the special aession of Congress eon : vening, Monday, Mr. Harding is under stood to have taken the position that ' in the settlement of so important a question the nation must proceed with , care and prudence. It is said that he . haa not withdrawn the approval he. gave the resolution when he supported it in : the last Congress ut is convinced that the present situation docs-not require haste, so mnch ss it requires pain-'-. taking deliberation. ' . The administration has not revealed , what elementsare involved in thedeter minqlioa of its attitude, but 4here have been indications that it wonld consider itself in a better position to make ad vances for 'an 'association of nations If , the peace declaration were delayed.''

It has been hinted to the Preiident by some of his advisors hnt like the uutstaiiding war debt, a pending resolu tion of ,peaec might be used as a po tential lever to bring the allied govern ments jnto- accord with the proposals of this government. How serious a dis agreement there may be between this viewpoint and that of 'the Senate ad-. vocatcs of the rcsolutjo . remains to be developed, after the special session meets. . At sd inner herel at night some of r the Senators most prominent in foreign relations are understood to have in formed M. Viviani, the former French Premior, who is visiting here, that his government need not hope, that a peace declaration would be long delayed. They plan to bring lie measure quickly into the program of the special session and . they express unbounded confidence that it will be adopted quickly. There has been indications that the President would make an open fight to delay action, but what no says on tne ' subject in hia message to Congress will be studied carefully for delicate shades of meaning, and the impression he con . veya is expected to have much weight with, many Senators of his party. .
