POWER TO DECLARE WAR.

The power TO declare war is vested by
the Constitution In Congress, but de-
claration OF war would be subject to the
provision OF the organic law applying 10
every order, resolution, and vote 10
which the concurrence of the Senate ana
House OF Representatives may be neces-
sery." That Is to say. the President
would have the right Of veto, and In order
then TO give the declaration force and
effect, the resolutions or what not EN-
bodying the declaration would have to
he passed over his veto. by a two thirds
vote of each branch OF Congress.
This being the case, II will be readily
understood that any lack of concert be-
tween the President and Congress touch
ing the question of declaring war Is cal
culated TO encourage Spain to be more
stiff neclsed I'm resisting our demands
than she would be otherwise. If Congress
should declare war at this juncture and
the President should veto the declaration,
and IL should be passed over his veto, or
even should he not veto 1t, Spain, con-
sidering his attitude at present, would be
justified in regarding the American people
as divided on the issue. And just to the
degree that this impression obtained
among the Spanish people, their hope oil
success in a clash of arms with us would
be stimulated. Viewed. either In Its bear
ing upon peace negotiations or the posi-
bilities of war, the development Of any
pronounced friction between the execu-
tive and the legislative branches OF the
for us. The moral effect as rejecting
upon the nation would be bad, not only
in Spain, but In other European countries.
