New Peace Resolution Outlines Senate Draft Measures
Special Dispatch to the Standard reports that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee members, with Knox leading the effort, prepared a new peace resolution likely to gain swift committee support. The plan repeals the joint war declaration against Germany while restating that wartime hostilities are ended and urges negotiations to rebuild relations and trade. It also protects U.S. claims against Germany by securing alien property funds until claims are settled, and reserves U.S. property rights retained from wartime. The measure, supported by Republicans and likely by Democrats, is to be presented to the full committee and could proceed to debate soon.
