Ij SAN FRANCISCO, May 12. The
world offers vast opportunities for
' American enterprise. James A. Farrell
' president of the United States Steel
J corporation and Chairman of the
; Seventh National Foreign Trade Con-
ention told trado exports from all
parts of the world here today. His
speech, opening a four day interna
tional discussion of trade, portrayed
"Ur conditions in the United States as
leading either to stagnation and busi

or to glowing prosperity following dc-
ffV'1 velopment of world trade cnanncis.

j I the fact that wo are able to produce
I ! more than we can sell at home. We
shall face, accordingly, such an urg-
U J ency for foreign trado as wo never
; before experienced. For wc shall find
markets abroad for the surplus of our
! industrial productivity, or we shall
I ccr.se to produce it. whlc his quito

J "But the world offers vast oppor-
m tunlties for American enterprise.
A Needs that have been restricted by
)M jealous and discordant political par-
1 C'M ties, .material development that has
L jjfi: been checked by the inslstanco of
j ral narrow spheres of interest will be gov-
BLI erned in tho future by broader and
RRhII freer conception of international co-
ISJ'V' operation than has ever prevailed bc

KJ Furnish New Markets
IB There can be no question about the
economic rebirth of tho civilized
world, for it is already in progress,
B. even in places where industrial dis-
I tress seems most acute and social dis-
H organization mo3t profound. Vast
V' undeveloped portions of the world
IHji with fertile soil and cheap" labor are
entering upon period of rapid devcl
Bi opmont. They will help supply the
H rapidly increasing needs for food-
Hi stuffs and raw materials, and they
H will at tho same time furnish new
I I markets for finished products.
Must Work lluru
"We may not be ablo to tell the
precise extent or fix the exact direc
tion of forces that are about to change
tho faco of tho world, but wo may
faco tho future with confidence by
tho exercise of an intelligent fore
sight and by being ready to adjust
ourselves to the new course of ccon
i omlc development.

Senator Hitchcock Says Moun

j Brought Forth Mouse
KNOX RESOLUTION
HELD INCONSISTENT!
Speaker Denies Congress Has
Power to Make Peace
as Proposed
WASHINGTON". May 12. Demo
cratic attack upon the Republican
peace resolution was launched today:
by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, I
administration spokesman, who de-I
clarod in addressing the senate that,
j the measure was futile and Inconsis-1
tent and inimical to the treaty of
I Yersailles.
J "The mountain has labored and
brought forth a.. mouse." he said.
"Great expectations for an act of
congress.. JLliaJm&pii 14.fr oo-a-:p enc,e
settlement ' are to bo' disappointed.
High hopes that a resolution by cong
ress could bo made to perform the
functions of a ieaco treaty aro abon-j
doned. Insteafi'of a peace sottlcmerfl
to be forced by a resolution of manda
tory requirements as tho price Of se
vering relations, we arc merely to re
peal tho war declaration, declare the
war at an end and invite the president
to negotiate a separate peace."
Staggering Along
Mr. Hitchcock cited three similar
resolutions' which ho said had beon
sponsored since last November by
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, tho
Republican leader, and Senator Knox,
of Pennslyvanla, author of the pend
ing resolution. Tho latter, Mr. Hitch
cock said, is the fifth peace resolution
offered by the Republican leadership.
"In reaching this Important conclu
sion," he said of the ponding meas
ure, "the supporters of tho novel plan
have staggered from side to side ovor
a zlg zag course for noarly six
months."
No Power For Pcaco
Senator Hitchcock denied that cong
ress has the power to make pcaco al
though It has authority to declare war.
The state voted unanimously apainst
giving congress peace-making Jurisdic
tion, ho said.
Senator Knox's recont argument
that the war actually was at an end
was conceded by Mrf. Hitchcock, who
asked:
"Then why this resolution, Hostili
ties ceased IS months ago and our
army was reduced to a poaco basis.
Since that time commerce has been
I resumed. Wo have sold hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of products
to Germany and purchased much
from her. Tho war which tho senator
from Pennsylvania proposes to end
by .this resolution does not by his
own admission exist.
What's Ho Doing
"What then la the senator from
Pennsylvania attempting to do by this
measure, which ho calls a resolution
to terminate tho war. Ho la maklntc
an utterly futllo and hopoless attempt
to mako a peace settlomont with Gor
many to take the placo of tho Ver
sailles' treaty.
"Instead of declaring poaco, ho Bald,
"tho Knox resolution declares tho war
at an end. Thus wo have raised tho In
teresting distinction between declaring
peace and declaring war at an end."
The pcaco resolution adopted by tho
house last month was denouncod espe
cially by Mr. Hitchcock because of its
proposals for an embargo against
Germany within 45 days in event of
German objections to the resolution
and its provision for reserving rights
under tho treaty,
"In tho house resolution," he said,
"we demand the benefits of tho treaty
which we have refused to ratlfly."
Abandon On Doorstep
Reviewing the course of other peace
resolutions. Mr. Hitchcock said a pro
vlous resolution by Senator Knox was
"abandoned on tho senate doorstop
like its predecessors."
"But the effort to do something
to escapo from the constitutional
method of making peace was Miot
abandoned," ho continued. "Somo
thlng had to be done. Intranslgcanc
statesmen who had refused all efforts
to reach an agreement or comproml3o
on the peaco treaty felt the growing
responsibility."
House Republicans, Mr. Hitchcock
chai'ged, were called into conference
and tho house action arranged, al
though he declared that the house
