DEBATE tn
DECLARE WAR END
Big Guns on Both Sides of
House Get Ready in Orator
iCal Bombardment in Debate

ST. The Associated rress
WASHINGTON, April declaring
the war with Germany was over and
that Congress should assert the fact,
Chairman Campbell, of the rules
committee, opened In the House tcday
the fight for adoption OF the Joint
resolution declaring the state of war
at an end. The galleries were crowd
ed at the beginning of the debate,
which will close late tomorrow to he
followed by a vote on passage OF the
resolution.
The first phase OF the battle be-
gan on presentation of the special
rule limiting debate to nine hours.
Two hours were allowed for discus
sion of the rule, the vote on which
will give the first test of strength.
The House met an hour earlier to
begin the debate and Representative
Campbell began prepared address
urgnig not only adoption of the rule.
but also of the resolution as soon as
the roll call was concluded.
The vote will come tomorrow
evening at 5 o'clock and under the
special rule no amendment or substi-
tute can be introduced into consider
alton of the fiat issue presented by
the joint resolution prepared by the
foreign affairs committee.
Majority and minority reports on
the proposals diEttNN were btlOlt
the House. That written by Chair
man Porter, OF the committee. de
scribed the action contemplated as
merely restoring conditions of peace
and opening n way to resumption Of
trade. but leaving ii to the executive
to work out a form of treaty with
Germany later.
The minority report prepared by
Representative Flood, with which
the Democrats generally were said to
be in agreement. characterized tho
resolution as an attempted invasion
of the treaty making power designed
to embarrass the executive depart
ment for political effect. The consti-
tutlonal power uf congress TO enact
such legislation was fatty challenged
and it has been indicated the debate
would turn largely upon that point.
Mr.. Campbell said the people were
wearied by a year and half of life
under an executive with war powers
in time of peace and longed for the
freedom of government with three
separate and independent branches.
Passage of the resolution, he con
tinued, would put the United States
back on a normal basis without sac
rificing or surrendering any of the
rights or privileges to which 1t was
entitled by reason of its participation
In the war. lie added that grave DO
mestic questions made the proposed
action imperative.
