TERMINATION OF FEDERAL CONTROL
 MUST BE DECIDED
Legal Questions Involved in. Deciding Whether Sign ing of Treaty Ends Gov
 ernment Supervision
I aA .y9oJf&et adsaiotb& 4ns
By Associated Pres,

Washington, June 2S.-Now that the peace treaty has been signed legal off, cers of the government-probably Attor ney General Palmer-will have to decide whether the signing terminates govern ment control or supervision of many private activities within the meaning of the laws which took them over.
 "The end of the war the termina- tion.' during the emergency when a state of war is ended and with the coming of peace are some of the terms which have been used in the multitude of wartime laws, The legal questions in- voved are apparent. Beside that, meas ures now are pending to suspend war time control, notably in the case of tele- phone and telegraph wires and in addi- tion some government controls, such as food and fuel actually have long since ceased to Junction. The legal limitations placed on some of the principal wartime government controls are expressed in the laws as follows:
 "Railroads: Twenty-one months after the end of the war
 "tTelegraph and telephone: Ratifica- tion of the peace treaty or sooner in the discretion of the President
 ''Food and fuel: When peace is pro claimed.
 Espionage act: End of the war.
 Var trdue DOtTu dliu eApOit SohlicA' End of the war.
 'War finance corporation: Six months after termination of the war.
 transportation of government bureaus ander the Overman law: Six months after the war.
 "Alen property custodian: As Congress directs
 Government operation of ships: Five years after the war
 k ,,t3I e.fft 1Jofi iNy, after the present emergency"
 In fact, most of these government con- trols have actually ceased functioning or rapidly are doing so, but each one in- wolves legal questions of when it comes ito an end
 The government insurance of ships through the war risk bureau ceases with ssthe termination of the war" The bu- reau for paying allotments to dependents of enlisted men ceases one month after the war. The bureau for paying death benefits is permanent.

BORAH BREAKS LOOSE

Senator Borah in statement tonight said President Wilson's statement on the signing of the peace treaty was "the most remarkable statement made by president" or any public man. The state- ment follows
 "In view of the great wrong which we helped perpetrate upon China, the Pre- sidentss statement about respecting na- tionalities and justice to all peoples is tho most remarkable statement ever made by a president or any other public man to the American people. The Shatung affair is perhaps the most com plete moral breakdown In the history of treaty making. China was our ally. She went into the war upon our advice and upon the assurances of our govemn- nent that she would be fully protected in her rights in the peace conference.
 "In the face of this assurance and in the face of her manifest rights we con scented to transfer what in effect is one of her richest provinces inhabited by nearly forty million Chinamen to per pro nounced enemy, Japan. Valuable rights. franchises and Chinese territory were de- liberately transferred against the pro- test of the Chinese people. The peace conference went so far as to refuse China a heaxing. China was helpless and Japan was strong and we consented that China should be robbed in the house of her friends. We have wronged her as the United States would be wronged should the old commonwealth of Massachusetts be delivered over to some foreign power. Now we have not only like Paul of old consented to the crime, but we have agreed by the league of nations to un- derwrite it and perpetuate it. We have pledged our material wealth and if need be the American boys to the end that Japan, a member of the league, shall continue in her possessions thus ac- quired. I repeat that in view of these indisputed facts about Shantung, which no man can unblushingly defend, the (Continued on Page TweIve),

 Secretary TumuIty gave out the cablegram in full in the following statement:
 ''The secretary to the President, at the White House tonight, made public the following cable from the President with reference to yar-time prohibitions:
 "T am convinced that the Att tOrney General is right in advising me that I have no legal power at this time in the matter of the ban on liquor. Under the act of November. 191Sl my power to take action is restricted. The acts pro- vide that after June 30, 1919, 'suntfI the conclusion of the pres- ent war, and thereafter until the termination of demobilization, the date shall he determined and pro- claimed by the President, it shall be unlawful, etc.o
 |" 'Tvhis law does not specify that the ban shall be lifted with the signing of peace, but with the termination of the demobilization of the troops, and I cannot say that that has been accomplished. My information from the War De- partment is that there are still million men in the service under the emergency call. It is clear, therefore, that the failure of Com gress to act upon the suggestion contained in my message of the 2Oth of May, 1919, asking for n re- peal of the act of November, 1918, so far as 1t applies to wines and beer, makes it impossible to act in this matter at this time. @ "sWhen rehabilitation is termi- mated. my power to act without congressional action will be exer- cfsed.

 Announcement
By Associated Press

Washington, June 28.-Word of the consummation of peace was received by the national capital with scarcely a flutter of popular or official senti- ment.
 At the White House and the State Department the news aroused only n quiet feeling of satisfaction that the pre-arranged programme for the sign ing at Versailles had gone through. In Congress there was but momeL- tary demonstration and on the streets the Saturday crowds gave no show of interest.
 The story of the historic ceremony. flashed over a direct wire to the State Department, was given to the press in brief bulletins. keeping close step with the developments in the Hall of Mir TOTS. The account was brief. and was made public without comment by de- partment officials

Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee, announced today the major ity report recommending passage of the enforcement measure would be pre- sented to the House Monday and mean- while Representative Dyer, republican of Missouri made public the minority report attacking the sections for en- forcing the war time act. 8
 Tn Congress the only move was made by Representative Hoch, republican of Kansas, a prohibition advocate, who in- troduced a resolution calling on Secre- tary Glass for report as to whether government tax receipts, permits or H- censes had been issued, entitling man. ufacturers or vendors of liquor to- con- tinue business after June 30. The meas ure, introduced without comment, was referred to a committee
 In attacking the general enforcement bill, Mir. Dyer declared the war time war is over" and that "any effort to enforce it will meet with failure in the courts"
 He also contended Congress was without authority to define intoxicat- ing liquor for either enforcement of war time or constitutional prohibition, and that such definition was solely a judicial question.

 Refusal of President Wilson to act at this time means that the long arm of the wartime law will reach out quietly at midnight Monday and close the. e.door off every liquor establishment on American soil.

CONGRESS INFORMED

It was by the reading of this mes sage Congress was informed the Yer sailles negotiations were at an end. It was expected tonight that an oft cial notification would await the ar rival of MT. Wilson and would be de- livered in person by him at joint session of the Senate and House.
 In the Senate chamber. to which the nations interest in the outcome of the peace negotiations now is transferred, announcement of the signing was re- ceived in silence. Interrupting annap- propriation bill debate, Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, senior democrat of the foreign relations committee, read the Presidents message to an atten-
 tive audience comprising less than half the Senates membership. Without any comment he then relinquished the
 floor and the appropriation debate
 proceeded.
 The House, however, punctuatcd reading of the message with applause and there was a short outburst of cheering when the Presidents name was read at the end. There was no discussion of it. the only comment be- ing an announcement by former Speaker Clark when he sent it to the clerks desk to be read, that he wanted to put into the record some good news"
 Privately. senators and representa- tives who have supported the league of nations expressed high praise for the Presidents message. while Chair
 man Lodge of the foreign relations committee and other opponents of the league covenant had nothing to say. Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, issued a statement on the subject,
 however, in which he bitterly criti-
