ATTACKS KNOX RESOLUTION
lly the Associated Prtas
WwMnjton, May 12. Democratic
,ttek upon the Republican peaca res
chitlon was launched today by Senator
Hitchcock, admtnlitratlon spokesman,
who declared In addressing the Senate
thot the nearuro was fulllo and incon
tinent and Inimical to the treaty of
Versailles
"Great expectations for an act or
fnnc that would force a peace set
flJSiwt to be disappointed, ' he
..Id "High hopes that a resolution
hr ConitreM could be made to perform
fho function of a peace treaty nr
abandoned. Instead of a peace settle
mint to be forced by a resolution of
mandatory requirement;. o tht pttej
of severing commercial relations, we
merely to repeal "the war declara
lion, declare the war at an end and
Invite the President to negotiate a cp-
"Vlr PTmchrock cited three similar
reiolutlons which, he said, had been
Jponwd slncn last November by Hen
utor I-odRe and Senator Knox, author of
the pendfiu resolution. The latter. Mr.
Hitchcock said, in the fifth peace reso
lution offered by the Itcpubllcan leader
ship. Denies Congress Can Me Peace
"In reaching this Important conclti
,lon," he said of the pending measure,
"the supporters of the novel plan have
ntUltered from Bide to side over a xlg
tar course for nearly sir month,,
Hermtor Hitchcock denied that Con-'
tress hss the power to make peace, al
though It has authority to declare war.
The states voted unanimously against
siting Congress peace-making jurisdic
tion, he said.
Senator Knox's recent argument that
the war actually was at an end was dis
missed mmmarlly by Mr. Hitchcock,
who conceded the point, and asked:
"Then why this resolution? Hostili
ties teased eighteen months ago and our
srraj was promptly demobilized and re
duced to a peace basis. Since that time
commerce has been resumed. "We have
told hundreds of millions of dollars
north of products to Germany and pur
ihssed much from her. The war which
(be senator from Pennsylvania pro
poses to end by tills resolution docs not,
hv hh own ndmlsnlon, exist. His able
s'rgument and historical citations prove
that It ended months ago.
Declares Knox Move KHitlle
"What, then, is the senator from
IVuoijUnnla attempting to do by this
measure, which he calls a resolution to
terminate the war? He Is making an
utterly futile and hopeless attempt to
make a pence settlement with Germany
in tako the place of the Versailles
treat .
"Instead of declaring peace tne
Knox resolution declares the war at
an end. Thus we have raised the In
teresting distinction between declaring
peare and declaring war at an end.
What is the difference?"
Tho peace resolution adopted bv the
House last month was denounced
specially by Mr. Hitchcock because of
its proposals for an embargo against
(icrmany within forty-five days in
event of German objections to the
resolution and Its provision for reserv
ing rights under the treaty.
"In the House resolution," he said,
we demand the benefits of the treaty
which wc have refused to ratify."
House Republicans, Mr. Hitchcock
cnnrged, were called Into conference
nnd the House action arranged, al
though he declared that the House
never had been permitted a voice 'In
peace proceedings previously. Upon
receipt of tho House resolution by the
Senate, howovcr, Mr. Hitchcock said,
there was a sudden change of plans and
the present resolution was drafted ns a
futile plan for Itcpubllcan indorsement.

WOULD LIGHTEN TAXES POLICE ATSEA ON MURDER
Ry the Associated Press
Indianapolis, Mar 12. Sounding tho
keynote for the Republican campaign
In Indiana, Senator Watson, as tem
porary chairman of the party's state
convention today outlined five principles
on which he said the contest should be
waged.
The senator, who has been mentioned
for chairmanship of the resolutions com
mittee (tf the national Republican con
vention, put foremost "restoration of a
republican form of government to tho
country." declaring that, "spurred by
necessities of war and urged by execu
tive demands, we all but created an
autocracy in our country during the
last three years."
Lightening of federAl taxation was
the second task for the Republicans, he
said, nnd specified the repeal of the ex
cess profits levy.
Would Destroy Bolshevism
"We must either destroy bolshcvlsm
or it will destroy us," he said, In setting
forth the third point. Extreme radical
ism, he asserted, had "stealthily in
trenched itself In public places and these
enemies of our government are today
filling many of the most prominent po
sitions in pur government."
"President Wilson himself is largely
responsible for this situation," Mr
Watson said.
"Our regard Is altogether too tender
for the George Creels, and the George
ucrrons, tne William uuilllls and the
Lincoln Steffenses, the Louis Posts and
the Frederick Howes nnd the Frank
Walshes, and for a whole regiment of
meir hk and Kind woo nave done, and
are doinir. more to scatter seeds of sedi
tion among our people than all other
torces combined, for they give to an
archy and riot a sort of official re
spectability." Touching the high cost of living,
Senator Watson favored a Republican
statement that "work Is the one rem
edy, the steadfast co-operation of capi
tal and labor forging ahead to the fixed
gonl of production," while for his fourth
point he urged deflation of currency.
"The Republican party stands com
mitted to the policy of exhausting every
governmental remedy to restore and
maintain more friendly relations in the
industrial enterprises of our land," he
said In stating the fifth point.
No revision of the tariff will be need
ed, the senator said, until normal con
ditions return. He characterized
President Wilson's Mexican policy as
"resulting to the discredit of his ad
ministration nnd the humiliation and
disgust of every red-blooded Ameri
can." U. S. Rights Outraged by Mexico
"American rights arc outraged every
day in that land," he said, "and Atneri
an blood still cries out unappeased from
the soil. A Republican administration
will never permit so vexatious a situa
tion to exist without having the cour
nge to take steps necessary to settle It."
Reviewing findings of congressional
committees on war expenses, Senator
Wntson said the government had wasted
in eery department.
Spurred by war necessities, Senator
Watson said. Congress voted power to
the President until "he stood clothed
with greater authority than any other
ruler of the earth," which had been

THE BEAUTY OF
MECHANICS
Beauty in a motor car is more than finish
deep. It goes into the mechanism.
The beauty of the Picrce-Arrow Dual
Valve engine, which doubles the power
without complicating the mechanism,
is not visible to the eye. The harmony
of twin spsrfci igniting the gas simul
taneously in cwo places and delivering
the full force of the explosion is never
visualized except on blue prints.
But the result smooth power, silent, quick-as-thought respon
siveness, greater flexibility and higher efficiency in every working
part represents a beauty of mechanical achievement as distinguished
in its way as graceful lines and luxurious fittings.

The Tire That Saves Trucks
rS much cheaper to punish tires than trucks. True economy
consists in cushioning your trucks so well that they won't have
to be repaired and replaced so often.
You may occasionally get more mileage out of a solid tire than
from The General Cord Pneumatic Truck Tire but if you do, you
won't get near as great mileage out of your trucks and we main
tain that the cost of new trucks is so great compared to the cost of
the best tire that no penny-wise and pound-foolish policy should
keep you from protecting your trucks with The General Pneumatic
Cord Tire.
You need it to make your trucks wear
longer to save gas increase speed and
to protect loads and roads. Think it over
the next time you buy truck tires.
