many is unexplained 1t is no less Of
concern to capitol Hill than the
reason why a peace proclamation
isn't issued. Congress expected that
peace would be established by joint
resolution. The state department
didn't seem to think proclamation
was necessary but some suggestion
was made that wartime legislation
could be abrogated only by a proc
lamation. So the matter was re-
ferred to the department of justice
where it has reposed for several

Causes Gossip.
The spectacle of Secretary Of
State Hughes, with experience on
the supreme bench of the United
States being required to await an
opinion from a few lawyers at the
department of justice, is one that
has given rise to all sorts of rum

contended, knows whether proc
lamation of peace is necessary. He
knows all about the law in the case.
The question was referred to the
department of justice as a way out

for the issuance of the proclamation
could be placed on the department
of justice and make it a domestic

the senate which denounced the
Wilson methods as unjustified are
showing signs OF restiveness over
the fact that open diplomacy has
again gone by the boards Their
chief fear is that Secretary Hughes
is establishing a precedent for the
Harding administration which will
be used to keep the press out OF the
disarmament conference and give
out formal statements similar to
the colorless announcements made
daily at Paris while the real agree

secret and are still being handed to
the public in piecemeal fashion in
