EFFORT TO END
WAR IS COMING
UP this WEEK
Republicans Will Bring
Resolution Out in
the House.

Washington, April 4.-The fight in
congress over formmal termination of
the war will be renewed this week.
With the failure of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty the house will
vote on a resolution, put forward by
Republicans, declaring the war ended.
There are indications. however. that
this might result in further delay in
connection with the treaty. possibly it's
resubmissjon to the senate by the pres
ldent as the administration counter
move.
The peace resolution is to be brought
before the house on Thursday with n
rule calling for a vote on Friday. Re
publicans believe it's adoption is as
sured, while Democrats declare it Ger
tainly will be vetoed by the president,
without prospects of obtaining two
thirds vote to. override the veto.
Might Return Treaty.
In many wellinformed quarters the
impression is growing that either be-
message the president might return the
treaty to the senate with affirmative
expression regarding reservations. In
deed, it would not surprise administra-
ton spokesmemn in touch with the sit
uation should the president return the
treaty within few days.
Although Democrats plan a vigorous
fight on the resolution. they virtually
are without hope Of preventing it's adop-
ton in bob house and senate. This was
indicated by Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska. administration leader, who
has returned from a vacation in the
south. Senator Hitchcock differed from
views expressed by Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts. Republican leader. re-
garding the length of the senate contest
on the measure.
Expects Long Discussion.
Il believe there will be prolonged dis
cussion." Senator Hitchcock said. There
are many new and most important issues
presented in the proposals.
Senator Hitchcock declined to con-
firm or discuss reports that the prcsi-
dent was considering return Of the
treaty to the senate shortly. but indicat-
ed that he had been in correspondence
with the president during his absence
from Washington.

they also accord with the attitude Of
the reichswehr officers since the At

already is becoming a farce. The Baltic
