ties by virtue Of the surrender of the
enemy. .g Ja55 IN
Second war is at AN end by
the silent cessation Of hostilities,
which concluded the war; in fact.
'a'sThird-The war is at an end be-
cause the government against which
we +, specifically declared war has
ceased to exist.
''Fcurth-The war is at an end be-
cause we. together with our associ-
ates, negotiated with the people with
whom we had been fighting a treaty
OF peace, which provided that the war
should terminate and diplomatic re-
lations be resumed when the treaty
came into force"
Senator Knox summed up the legal
aspects Of the question as follows:
Ffrst-War is actual hostiltties.
"Second-That it was so under
stood by our constitutional fathers.
4Third-That the power to declare
war was exclusively with congress.
which created the status Of war. by a
law which, like any other law, could
be amended, modified or repealed.
s'''F'ourth--That the purpose Of the
war powers of the constitution was to
give the national government the
legal power and practical ability to
conduct a successful war, that is,
actual hostilities.
. .3l. Fifth That war power could not
be exercised after actual hostilities
had ceased.
'sixth-That Yhe powers Of the
president came from two sources that
of the chief executive and that OF
commander-in-ch chief; that the power
of neither capacity could be invoked

sessed no extraordinary powers as
chief executive, save only and to the
extent such powers were conferred by
statute which, to authorize action by
him, must be, duly and legally in
operation.

ing facts and principles" concluded
the senator, that the war has ended
internationally both as matter Of
fact and law; that domestically the
war powers ceased with the end ot
actual hostilities, and that therefore
we are already at peace, both inter
nationally and domestically. withou
any further act by either the execu
