MAY END WAR
WITHOUT TREATY
Congress Considering Adoption
Of Joint Resolution

washington, Jan. 20.-Possibility OF
the Introduction in congress Of Joint
concurrent resolution declaring the
war with Germany at an end loomec
tonight, following a sharp break in
the compromise conference which has
been trying to adjust 6isasreements
between Republican and Democratic
senators as to the wording of the
Lodge resolutions.
The assertion of President Wilson
that he was willing to submit the
question Of the adoption of the peace
treaty with the league of nations to
a vote Of the people, which has been
approved by Senator Johnson Of Cal
ifornia, and other political opponents
of the administration has led some
to believe that this may perhaps be
the best solution of the treaty con-
troversy.
In the meantime, it is pointed out,
something should be done to stabilize
trade relations with Germany while
the treaty issue is still undecided and
a resolution decl ring the war at an
end is one remedy which has been
considered by both sides in the con-
troversy.
