NOW ALL WANT AN EARLY PEACE TREATY Discussion Favor* Action Independent of Exeoutlve AttKude—Viewe\Ex- preaaed by All Factions. Washington, Dec. 22.—Expressions that seemed to point toward a reopen- ing of the peace treaty fight wlthta a few weeks were voiced on the Senate floor today when the subject bobbed up In the midst of consideration of the railroad bill.\ * The symposium of view* that went into the record during the brief debate included oplnona from virtually all fac- tions of the divided Senate member- ship, hut they all struck a note*of conciliation. Differing widely in their suggestions for a solution, they stood together on the' general proposition that politics ought t< be forgotten and that the Senate,\ acting Independently of executive opinion, -ought to do something promptly to^end suspense and establish a state of peace. The discussion reflected, the trend of negotiations which have been In pro- gress prlvtely among senators for an agreement that would get the Question finally out of the way. There was in- creased activity in that direction dur- ing the day and some, of the leaders predicted some formal action early in the new year. Mr. Knox (.Rep., Pa.) a leader in the irreconcilable Republican group of treaty opponents and a member of the foreign relations committee, brought the subject to the floor by another at- tempt to get before ttie Senate his two, resolutions to establish a state of peace. The effort waa blocked, but he obtained unanimous consent to send the measures to the committee, where he expects to renew his request for action. In the compromise negotiation* pro- ceeding at private conference* among senators, the principal activity seemed to be among. Democrats. Republican reservation 1sts indicating- tbajt they awaited some concrete proposal from the other side of the aisle. The Demo- cratic managers were hopeful, that Huch an agrement soon would be re- potted. Among the Democrat* there was much discussion of the possible effect of the compromise negotiations on in* r,.ntest between Mr. Hitchcock of Nebraska and Mr. Underwood of Ala- bama for election as Democratic loader of they Senate. The negotiations stated yesterday with the mild Teser vntion Republicans were conducted by Xv.

Por- . (Specrial Correspondence;) Washington, Dec. 2 i.—Standing out above all the other Indications of the party conferences during and since the meeting of the naUonal committee and tion* la t the' note of confidence in Republican landvide in 1920. Not since 1904, in the opinion of the leadera who have been following Re- publican fortunes for twenty years and'more have party condition* been more propitious. The men from the border States told of the swing away from the Democratic administration and to Republican restoration, A. T. Hert, the national commltteeman from Kentucky, who helped to carry that State by 40,000 last month, waa made chairman of the committee on ar- rangements of the Chicago convention on the 8th of June. 'New England, the Middle West and the Rocky Moun- tain region all brought reports of the trend away from President Wilson and his party. \The Republican party faces the approaching campaign with devotion and confidence,\ said Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania. \It comes forward to the contest with clean hands and a stout heart, convinced that upon the termination of the' issue to be fought out next year depends not only the progress but the safety of the Re- public.\ Candidates for the nomination were discussed, as they always are 'Six months before the convention, but public expression was confined to the. issues. Foremost of these will be Americanism. This includes determi- nation to remain aloof from the effort to control European affairs, to- assert aggressively our Bplrlt on this conti- nent, to retain inviolate our constitu- tion and institutions, to maintain, law and order and to assimilate ln{p a common language and inspiration al! of. the nationalities of the \melting pot.\ Secondary Issues will be Demo- cratic extravagance, waste, usurpation^ of power, vaccination of policy, and failure to- conserve American' Interests in Mexico and in the treaty of peace. 'IX is essential, however, said Gov- ernor Sproul, \that we approach the next campaign not iff an attitude of criticism but in a spirit of^conatruc- tlfe suggestion. We must lax our plans to meet the menace to our peace and well-being on our southern boundary, not by high sounding phrases and' im- petuous and unprepared military moves, but by a sane and definite policy which will represent the real feeling of the American people, in deal- Ing with the arrogant and ignorant enemies of the country who are in control of the affair* of the Mexican nation And who have no respect for thfli power or dignity of/the - Tjtalted States; But our ; first du^y is to \our pwji people In meeting the question* Which intlBUtUly-affect the welfare of •#: Consolidation of 187 Offices, Beard* and Commiasiona Favored—Wn.
