Substitute for Knox Peace
Resolution Now Goes to
Conference.
Washington, June 14. Whether the
Senate will accept the Porter peace
resolution, passed late yesterday by
the House, as a substitute for the Kncx
resolution already adopted by the Sen
ate, was an uncertain question today.
Failure to accept would send the whole
question to conference, but, as leaders
in both branches of Congress , havi
declared their intention of holding out
for their respective measures, there
was no indication that a speedy agree
ment would be reached.
Adoption of the Porter resolution,
which would terminate the state of
war with Germany and Austria-Hun-garv,
came after two Tlays of hard
fighting but the vote was decisive, 40
Democrats joining with the Republi
cans for a total of S05 votes in favor
as against 61 opposing. Only one Re
publican, Representative Kelly, of
Michigan, voted against the resolu
tion. All attempts to amend the meas
ure failed.
The Knox resolution differs from the
Porter resolution in that it would re
peal the declaration of war. Opponents
have claimed that Congress ought not
to repeal the war declaration as it
might be regarded as a repudiation cf
the war itself. Debate on the Porter
resolution centered chiefly about the
question of whether American right?
would be properly safeguarded.
The House was not in session today,
having adjourned until tomorrow.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO GET CONTROL
Three Off -Year Issues Are
Already Pointed Out to
G. O. P. Leaders.
By L. C. MARTIN.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, June 14. Isharp politi
cal lightings, presaging the storm of
the Congressional elections of 1922,
are forking the sky hereabouts, and
the issues of that campaign are be
ginning to loom, up like thunderclouds.
For, despite the fact that the Repub
lican administration has been only a
little over three months in power, De
mocratic party leaders are already ac
tive. They count each day of the
G. O. P. administration a day in the
net campaign, and are proceeding as
though the elections were only a
short way off.
The issues which have already taken
definite shape, in the Democratic mind,
at least, are these:
1 Governmental expenditures and
the tax burden.
2 The tariff.

3 World peace.
The Democrats are proceeding on
the theory, their leaders in Congress
acknowledge, that the Republican ad
ministration will accentuate those is
sues day by day and month by month
until they will furnish all the mate
rial needed for a first class figh for
control of Congress. The Democratic
campaign, as exemplified in the tac
tics of leading Democrats in Congress,
is to call public attention day by
day to failures, real or apparent, of
the Republicans to live up to campaign
pledges of economy, reduction of liv
ing costs through slashing of Federal
spending, aids to business through
speedy tariff revision, rehabilitation of
the railroads and kindred domestic
questions.
They have already begun to call at
tention to what they name the delay
of the Harding administration in
working out an international arrange
ment to insure peace, as a substitute
for the Wilson League of Nations,
Senator Uriderwpod, Democratic leader
of the Senate, did that in a speech
on the pending navy bill.
"You said when you rejected the
Versailles treaty that you favored some
international, understanding," said Un
derwood to the Republicans, "You
have been in power three months, and
what have you done?"
It is by that sprt of thing the Demo
crats hope to get the country to
watching for every mistake. Error of
omission or commission, and every
delay of the G. O. P. By the time the
campaign actually begins, thep hope to
have the voters in a state of indigna
tion. Republicans in and out of Con
gress are aware of this. They are urg
ing leaders to follow Harding's tip
and cut government expendiutres un
til it hurts. Hurting a few officehold
ers to the benefit of the great army
of voters baok home would be not
only wise economics, but extremely
wise politics, these somewhat worried
Republicans argue.
