act Of delegation never occurs
because only Congress can de-
clare war or ratify the exist

The Constitution has many
pointed provisions that give to
Congress exclusively the right

the use Of the armed forces.
Article I, Section 8, says Con-

only ito declare war" but ito

law of nations" This same
article says Congress shall
have power to make rules for

But while there is no dis
pute about how the armed
forces shall be directed to act
when invasion or attack on
American interests comes-as
provided. for instance, in var
ious treaties such as NATO-
the new question is how Con-
gress. acting along with the

These are strange times. A
military man is President of
the United States, but he's no
swashbuckler. He's a man of
peace.
Yet the Congress, which
under the Constitution has the
sole power to declare war.
doesn't want to exercise that
power. 1t wishes instead to
concentrate in the President
all responsibility for using the
armed forces.
What is the reason for this
paradox? Is it craftsmanship
an attempt to pass the buck
by a Democratic Congress to
a Republican President in a
delicate period in world his
tory?
There may be some par
tiSanship here and there in
the Senate, but certainly when
the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Sam Ray
burn, Democrat. votes in favor
of a resolution to authorize"
the President to use the
armed forces in the Middle
East if he deems it necessary.
there can hardly be good
grounds for assuming that
partisanship is a controlling
factor.
The truth is there are many
conscientious men in both
parties in Congress who have
not come to grips yet with the
realistic situation in the world
as it affects the Constitution
of the United States. The
powers in this great charter
Of Government have long been
used to deal with "hot wars"
but never before has the chal-
lenge come in what is today

fight hot wars" but to
prevent a world war from
breaking out in an age that

Britain and France are de-

thus become compulsory -
each member may use its
own Judgment as to whether
they should be applied or not.

But they point out that it

Israel to return to the status

Great Issue Seen Centering on Principle
OF Preventing War, Not Awaiting Attack

Congress to protect the lives
and property of American citi-
zens in troubled areas of the
world. There are precedents
that reveal the Chief Execu-
tive as taking military action
to repel attack. as President
Roosevelt did in the case of
Pearl Harbor in 1941, without
first seeking authority from
Congress. He did request a few
days later a resolution ratify-
ing a state of war;" just as
President Wilson did in enter
ing World War in 1917 or as
in 1914 when ordering the Port
of Vera Cruz seized by Ameri-
can sailors in a dispute with
Mexico.
1t will always be debated
whether President Truman
handled the Korean episode
correctly. 1t is true that he
ordered sudden intervention by
American forces to repel the
aggression by the Communist
armies even before the Secu-
rity Council of the United Ma
tions voted such action. But
he failed to go to Congress to
get ratification. and this is
a sore point between Repubh-
cans and Democrats that crops
up in political discussions.
Truman was right in inter-
vening. He could not wait
for authority from Congress,
though he did consult some
of the leaders. Nor is there
any real difference Of opinion
today as to what the duty of
a President should be when
an attack occurs-he must or
der American forces to repel
that attack, and go to Con-
gress later for ratification of
a state of war" in order to
legalize the step.
But what shall be said of the
use Of constitutional power to
prevent a war-not necessarily
to wait till an attack has
come? This is the real issue,
and it is a novel one. 1t in
