WAR MEASURES EFFECTIVE
 UNTIL TREATY IS RATIFIED

Washington, July 2-In the ab- sence of other statutory limitations, war measures effective until the end of the war will continue in operation until the exchange of notifications of the treaty of peace between this country and its enemies.

 The Trading with the Enemy act, however, is to continue in force until the date of the proclamation of the exchange, but the president may de- clare a prior date if he sees fit.
 Duration of the emergency" one of the phrases used in war commits sions in the army and navy, has not been interpreted by Justice officials and MT. Palmer declined to hazard an off, hand opinion.
 Consolidation, the attorney general said, would be completed when the ar my was reduced to peace basis, not necessarily the basis existing before the war. but authorized by congress for the future.
