being exactly similar TO the declaration
of peace with Germany. The text OF the
House resolution as applied to Ger
many follows:
"Jot~s resolution Terminating the state
of por bet.oecm the Imperial Govpsor
Government and tho Unlted States Of

It is difficult TO forecast the senate
stand on the House peace resoiu.ion

however, that the Senators, resentui o
tho House's efforts for recurrent power
IN foreign affairs. will REFUSE TO accep
the House amendment
