CAN THE PRESIDENT VETO A
DECLARATION OF WAR MADE
BY CONGRESS9

Article I of the Constitution de-
clares that Congress shall have pow
er Ito declare war, grant letters of
marque and reprisal, and make rules
concerning captures on land and wa
ter" This power is enumerated with
a great many other powers granted
to Congress. 1t is not a peculiar
power. Declarations of war in the
past have been in the forms of bills
and resolutions and have been sent
to the President for approval. AL
though no President has vetoed
declaration of war, there is no rea-
son why he could not do so if he
wished. 1t is a common mistake to
suppose that the power to declare
war belongs to Congress exclusively.
This power is given nthe same list
as the power to coin money, regJi-
late commerce, establish pOstoffices,
and many others. None of these pow
ers, including the declaring of war,
can be exercised without passing a
bill or resolution which must be sub
mitted to the President for approval
or disapproval-The Pathfinder.

the remainder of the vineyard on
each of these seven farms.
A considerable difference was not
ed in the condition of the grapes
produced on the potash plots and
those grown with the usual method
of fertilization in the Ridgely, Pleas
anton, Chase and Taylor vineyards
where this work was carried on last
year under the direction of the
county agent. This contrast was es-
pecially marked in the Taylor and
Pleasanton vineyards, as there were
larger and more compact punches
and less shattering of the berries in
those areas where the extra amount
of potash was used.
These results, in addition to those
which have been obtained from the
fertilization plots in the Chase and
Taylor vineyards during the past
four years, indicate that potash is
one of the most essential plant food
elements in the producing of a sat
is factory crop of grapes, if it is ap-
piled under certain soil and cultural
conditions. The proper amount to
use, however, for the most profitable
results in the production of max
imum yield of high quality grapes, is
determined largely by the analysis

idge issued a proclamation designa-
ting the week of April 22-28 as the
eighth annual forest week observ-
ance in the United States. His con-
sent to broadcast this proclamation,
it is said at the White House, comes
from his personal interest in better
forestry practices and the need for

better adapted for trees than for
any other crop.
Through the courtesy of the Ma

SAYS DELAWARE CAN
SAVE $S7,2O9 YEARLY
ON BOND REDEMPTION
EContinaed from frst baael

otherwise reduced to a fact basis on
which there should be general agree
ment.
Third-WhiIe the Highway De-
partment has a strong moral claim
to an equity in the surplus, it is
purely hazardous, moral claim. All
chance of the Highway Department
to benefit from tiff definite action
is not taken now by the custodians
of the sinking fund-may be wiped
out by the action Of any future leg
islature.
Fourth-The proposal to "save the
surplus for a rainy day" has three
grave defects: ~ the surplus is not
a cash surplus; (2) even If it were
converted into cash, the custodians
of the sinking fund have no power
to transfer it to the Highway De-
partment; and (S) it contemplates
the unsOund practice of using the
sinking fund for other purposes
than that of debt retirement.
Fifth-There are better and more
ample ways of meeting a rainy
day."
Sixth-Under either of the plans
% to cancel bonds in the sinking
fund and (2) to redeem Az per cent
bonds in the hands of private inves-
tors, approximately $9,400,00O can be
saved to the revenues of the high
way department. Both plans are
equally sure.
Seventh-The first plan is also
very simple, while the second is
complicated, and-if it is preferred
to the first-should be adopted only
if competent advisors, familiar with
bond-market conditions, feel assured
that it would not seriously affect the
market for future State highway
bonds.
Eighth-The advantage of the to-
tai saving to the revenues OF the
State Highway Department and the
advantage of extreme simplicity are
in favor of the proposal to cancel
bonds in the sinking fund.
Ninth-Only the advantage OF &C.
creasing the future debt charges 10
be paid to private investors Is IN
favor of the proposal to redeem 41s
ner cent bonds held by private III
Vestors.
Tenth-Each of those two methods
of retiring bonds has very substan-
tial advantages, and either would re
Infinitely preferable to no action at
all The important thing is that
slight differences in the effect of the
two plans should not result in lnac-
ton. ~
Eleventh-If it is considered that
the choice of advantages between
the proposal to redeem bonds heId
by private investors introduces an
element of opinion as to which meth
nd is nreferable; and if. for any rea-
son, the custodians of the sinking
fund prefer the second method and
will adopt it, the Taxpayers Re
search al League of Delaware would be
among the first to commend and ap-
plaud this action.
