CONGRESS MAY NOT
MEET BEFORE JUNE

Washington, April 17.--Congres-
slonal leaders have now reached the
conclusion that congress will not be
called to meet in extra session before
June /. This lis due to the announce
ment made in Paris that the presi-
dent. will remain abroad until the
peace treaty is fully signed and that
the document as approved will be
brought over by him.
Senator Thomas G. Martin, the
Democratic leader in the senate, who
returned to the city yesterday from
ms nome in Virginia, said he had re-
ceived no word indicating when the
sessions will be called. He IL of the
opinion. however. that congress will
not be brought together until some
time in the early part of June.
The reports to the effect that the
president might issue the call for an
extra session before he departs from
France were set at rest by Senator
Martin, who said the president told
him emphatically before leaving the
second time that he would not issue
the call until after he has returned.
Ih1s being true, the present state of
the peace negotiations convinces Sena-
tor Martin that a call before June 1 Is
highly improbable.
Senator Martin declined to make
any statement as to the probable ac-
ton of the senate on the peace treaty
and the league of nations proposal
He has been resting at his Virginia
home from the arduous labors of the
last session and has taken no part
in any discussion of the league
