CONGRESS CAN NOT END WAR.
President Alone Can Declare Peace
- IL Belief.

Washington, March o5.--Prospects
of formally ending the war between
United States and Germany at an
early date were dimmed yesterday by
differences between senate and house
republican leaders over constitu-
tional power of congress to declare
peace.
Chairman Porter OF the house for
eign affairs committee has held Sow
eral conferences with Senator Lodge.
republican leader in the senate, and
has reported that large number Of
republican congressman Join the
senate democrats in the view that
the Knox resolution to end the war
is unconstitutional.
They believe the power OF the con-
gress is limited to repeating of war
time measures and they are willing
TO proceed along this line, but they
arc unwilling to undertake to re-
store a state Of peace with Germany.
The conduct Of foreign affairs. they
point out, lies within the presidents
Jurisdiction. To support their con-
tention. house republicans have re-
surrected the debates and proceed
ings Of the convention which framed
the constitution in 1887 in which it Is
shown, they say. that the constitu-
tion trainers specifically declined to
grant congress the power to declare
peace, altho 1t vested the legislative
branch with power to declare war
On the other hand, such recogniz-
ed constitutional lawyers as, SEN
ator Lodge, Senator Knox. Senator
Borah, and Senator Lenroot sare
firmly OF the belief that it Is entirely
within the authority OF congress to
declare peace.
If the differences over the Knox
resolution feach an impasse it is
likely that a compromise will be ar
ranged to restore normal internal
conditions as far as possible by the
repeal Of wartime legislation and
leave the question Of relations with
Germany to be settled by negotia-
tions with Germany
Senator Thomas Of Colorado. dem
ocratic "irreconcllable." declared in
the senate today that congress had
no authority to declare peace. Not
withstandins the fact that he voted
for Nthe flat rejection OF the treaty,
Senator Thomas expressed the view
that the only way peace could he
restored would be for the senate, the
house.. and the president to agree to
a Joint resolution to that effect Sem
ator Thomas added that II the presi-
dent vetoed the peace resolution, as
many believe he will, congress would
have no authority to paes 1t over his
veto.

Gov. Townsend and other suffrage
leaders reiterated their belief that
enough changes would be made to

were the postponement of q vote and
the reference of the senate and
