AMERICA AND PEACE. PRESIDENT'S VETO STANDS. By Telocraph rress Assn.-CoDyt'.ilit. Received May 30, 5.5 p.m. Washington, May 29. The House of Representatives failed, by 2!) votes, to secure the necessary majority to over-ride the President's veto on the Knox peace resolution.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. Washington, May 28. Congress has refused to over-ride the vote on the Knox resolution. _ President Wilson, vetoing the resolution, declared that the Treaty embodied important things omitted by the resolu tion. In rejecting the Treaty the United States declared in effect that she wished to draw apart and,pursue only her own objects and interests. Such a peace with Germany as the resolution proposed is or ought to be inconceivable, as it ia inconsistent with the dignity of the United States and with the rights and liberties of the citizens and every fundamental of civilisation. _ President Wilson intends to make national honor the crux of his eanipaign in the fight for the League of Nations. He will propose to re-submit to the country the Peace Treaty as drafted, with certain suggestions for interpretative reso-lutions.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
