Washington, April 2.-An ardent
advocate Of speedily returning to a
state Of peace, Representative l. J..
Dickinson. Of the Tenth Iowa district
the only Hawkeye member OF the
house committee on foreign relations,
predicted today that the peace reso-
luton will receive the unanimous
support Of the republicans in the
house and q majority Of the demo-
Gratis will be found lining up with
the majority party in declaring the
war At An end"
There is great demand at the
present time for the peace status to
be restored In the United States"
Mr.. Dickinson said. I'm view Of the
fact that the senate and the presi-
dent are unable to agree upon the
terms of the treaty, it is incumbent
upon the legislative branch of the
government to provide plan to re-
store peace. With a view to bring
ing this about, the sub committee of
the house committee on foreign at
fairs, Of which am a member,
formulated the peace resolution after
the most careful study. There will
be no successful fight made on the
constitutionality Of the measure for
the reason that 1t does not infringe
upon the right Of the president to
negotiate treaty OF peace and in
view Of the fact that congress has
the right under the constitution TO
provide for the general welfare of
the United States I am convinced
that this resolution win stand the
test Of the courts.
Tho measure has the further ef-
feet Of terminating all war legisla-
ton, which has been q serious handi-
cap to many industries and which, In
my judgment, brings about more of
the unrest than the fact that . trsa-
~ has not been signed. The people
are anxious to conduct their own
business without governmental inter-
ference and without making 80 many
reports to % many officers who are
continuing their war time duties AZ
ter the necessity therefor has ceased
to exist.
"of course n WIN be claimed by
the opponents Of the resolution that
It II An effort in an indirect way to
provide . method Of terminating q
war. contrary to the constitution. In
my Judgment this position can not b
maintained and when the peace max
ing machinery In q democratic form
Of government fails to function, some
solution must be found therefor. This
condition has been brought about by
the disagreement between the presi-
dent and the senate and was render
ed hopeless when President Wilson
wrote across the face Of the compro-
mise reservation offered for article
X Not acceptable, w. W. and re-
turned it to the senate. The presi-
dent, by means Of his position, was
able to hold sufficient senators in
line SO that their vote, together with
the vote Of the irreconcilables among
the republican,, insured the defeat
Of the treaty.
Need q New President.
1T seems to me that It is the duty
of the American people in the next
election to elect a president who can
work double and for this reason I
favor a mid-western man for find
that the fastener is more extreme
in his views In every way than the
westerner and that q westerner can
adjust his plans to unexpected con-
ditions as problems confront him.
For this reason, have been very
favorable to the candidacy Of Cover
nor Lowdsn and expressed myself
tho other day in the following Lam
guage:
ave have Hooverized for four
years in food to make the supply
equal to the demand; now, let US
Lowdenize for four years in finances
