1 TIIE MORNING OREGOJ WEDNESDAY, ArfJJI, 7, 1920 BATTLE OVER PEACE E BUS PROMISED Resolution to End Status of War Introduced. FIGHT OPENS TOMORROW Congress' Power to Declare Peace Questioned by Democrats, l"p lield by Republicans. WASHINGTON. April 6. The ma jority report of the house committee on foreign relations recommending adoption of the resolution declaring the state of war with Germany at an end was introduced today by Chair man Porter, accompanied by a special rule providing: for nine hours' debate, under which it will be taken up in the house Thursday. The minority report, prepared by Representative Flood of Virginia, ranking democratic member of the committee, will be in troduced tomorrow. There was some debate in the house during which it was indicated that the democrats would vote almost sol idly against the resolution. Repre sentative Venable, democrat, Missis sippi, attacked the constitutional power of congress to take such action, characterizing it as an attempted usurpation of the treaty-making func tions, while Representative Mondell, republican leader, asserted that as congress had the power to create a condition of war it had the power to end it. Authoritien Are Cited. The majority report recited a num ber of authorities on international law to support the committee's con tention that there were three methods of terminating a belligerent status by treaty, by conquest and subjuga tion of one combatant or by the mere cessation of hostilities so long con tinued that It is evident that there Is no intention of resuming them." It has become "the plain duty of congress" to declare "the admitted fact" that the war with Germany was ended, the report said. "There has been," it continued, "a complete suspension of hostilities on both sides without any intention of resuming them. Congress is clearly exercising powers which are within its constitutional rights in recogniz ing and declaring that the war is at an end. As, by the resolution of April 6. 1917, congress officially recognized the fact that war had been thrust upon us, so now it becomes the duty of congress to give official recogni tion to the fact that the war Is ended. I'.nd of War Power Vrnrd. "Moreover, the general welfare of the United States imperatively de mands that all uncertainty upon this subject shall cease and that the ex traordinary war powers of the gov ernment shall be vacated and set aside." "The laws conferring extraordinary powers upon the president for the duration of the war are still in full force and effect, and constitutional rights are still suspended. Many of these laws are extremely drastic and could be justified only as war neces- aities, but since the war has. in fact, long since ceased, the justification for these laws no longer exists. "The effect of this resolution on all of the war legislation will be pre cisely the effect that the ratification and proclamation of the treaty would have had. Laws that were to be in force for the period of the war would have ceased with the president's proc lamation. Under this resolution they will cease with the date of Its pass age. Other Laws to Continue. "On the other hand, laws that were to continue in effect for a time after the ratification and proclamation of the "t reaty of peace will continue in effect for the specified time after the passage of this resolution. The reso lution, therefore, has no effect upon existing laws other than the effect that the ratification and proclamation of the treaty would have had." "Section 3 provides for the resump tion of reciprocal trade relations be tween Germany and the United States for a period of 45. days, and further provides that such reciprocal trade, re lations shall be permanently estab lished when the president has ascer tained and announced that Germany has declared a termination of the war and has made the renouncements on behalf of itself and its nationals which are specified in said section. PwerdentB Held Followed. "The placing of these conditions on the permanent resumption of trade with Germany is a reasonable exer else of the power vested in congress by the constitution 'to regulate com merce with foreign nations.' In mak ing certain legislation contingent on a laci 10 oe ascertained and an nounced by the president, this para graph follows precedents established in previous acts of congress, and espe cially section 3 of the act of Octo ber 1, 1S90 (the McKinley tariff act), which was sustained by the supreme court in the case of Field vs. Clark, 11J U. "Section 4 provides a. penalty for Tiolation of section 3 whenever the prohibition provided by that section . snau De in force. "Section 5 maintains the riirhts to which the United States has become entitled under the terms of the armis tice, or by reason of its participation in me war or otherwise, and ratifies, confirms and maintains all fines, for feitures, penalties and seizures im posed or made by the United States on account ot me war." progressing east 6f Dortmund, which the first detachment has just entered and where It advanced against con siderably stronger detachments of red guards on the Leunen-Kamen mine.

Up to noon today the French government had not re ceived a reply from Great Britain and Italy to its notification to them of the occupation of - Frankfort, Darra Btadt and other German cities In the Rhiaeland. German Envoy 3io tided. The supposition in certain quarters is that the communication made by Hugh C. Wallace. American ambassa dor, to Premier Millerand today, had some relation to this fact, but nothing is really known yet to support this theory. Premier Millerand today formally notified Dr. von Mayer, the German charge d'affaires, of the action of the French government in ordering the advance and informed him that as soon as there had been complete evacuation of the neutral zone by the German troops the French would evacuate the cities they had been ordered to occupy. The premier's note read: "By my letter of April 2, I asked you to make insistent representations to your government to obtain the im mediate withdrawal of the German troops which unduly penetrated the neutral zone fixed by article 32 of the treaty of Versailles. "My request having obtained no result up to this time, I have the honor of informing you that the gen eral commanding in chief the army of the Rhine has. received orders to occupy Immediately the cities of Frankfort, Hamburg, Hanau, Darm stadt and Dieburg.

CHICAGO YARDS CRIPPLED OPINION OF WILSOX WANTED France Asks for Kxpression on Ad vance in Germany. WASHINGTON,' Aprii ' 6. (By the Associated Press.) The French gov ernment through Ambassador Jus serand has asked for an expression of opinion by President Wilson as to the French occupation of cities in he neutral zone beyond the Rhine. It has learned today that the French ambassador presented a state ment of the French position to Secre- ary Colby yesterday and asked that t ba communicated to the president. Presumably this was the communica tion referred to in recent press dis patches from Paris as having been sent to the American, British and Italian governments. At the state department todav it was said that the United States had made no statement with regard . to the advance of the French forces and that it was unlikely that any would be made for the present at least. The position of the American government was described as that of merely an interested spectator. Officials said Great Britain anrl Italy had taken the same view as the united stales, that there was no oh- jection to the movement of German troops into the Ruhr district to quell disturbances there provided they were n unarawn as soon as normal condi tions had been restored.

Lee. president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, today Issued the following statement regarding the employment of brotherhood members as union strikebreakers in the Chi cago switchmen's strike: "Regardless of reports issued by John Gruneau, leader of the strike of switchmen at Chicago, such strike is illegal and members of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen and others will be fully protected in accepting positions as switchmen or switch tenders made vacant by such illegal strike. "The question of increased wages had nothing to do with the present trouble, but the removal of John Gru neau from a position as yard con ductor was the cause of a few switch- j men in the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. I Paul yard, who were members of a renegade organization headed by Gru neau. quitting work. The question of increase in the wages was later in jected for the purpose rff playing upon the sympathies .of other train and yard men, who naturally feel that the federal railroad administration did not grant fair and equitable wages during government control."

Wool worth on Fifth Avenue Astonishment has been expressed that a five and ten-cent store is so successful on fashionable Fifth Avenue. Because the wealthy frequent the Avenue, it is assumed that all are wealthy and that small coins are disdained. It is sometimes believed that open-handed pro digality is an attribute of wealth. It m,ay be in buying old masters, yachts or tiaras, but commer cially the relatively poor are the "spenders."

ESTABLISHED FURS M9-ISI J664 BROADWAY BOND ISSUES ARE OPPOSED TREASCRY OFFICIALS AGAINST INCREASE OF DEBT. Proposed Annual Sinking Fund for Purchase of Liberty Bonds "ot to Be Abandoned. NEW YORK, April 6. Officials of the United States treasury have let it be known that they are opposed to further bisc bond issues, either as pro posed by William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, or for the purpose of paying bonuses to soldiers, as proposed by some veterans of the world war. Nor will the plan to create from taxation an annual sinking- fund ot $250,000,000 for the purchase of lib erty bonds be abandoned or post poned. Mr. McAdoo proposed that this latter plan for stabilizing the liberty bond market be not taken up for two years, and that -meanwhile there be issued each year $1,000,000,000 in lone term bonds to meet current expendi tures, thereby making: it possible to reduce taxation each of the two years by that amount. Mr. McAdoo's ar gument was that at the end of two years Europe will be able to pay the annual interest on her indebtedness to the United States and that this ex pected $300,000,000 a year will en able the government to meet all cur rent and debt charges without bur dening too greatly the taxpayer. It is believed -some arrangement will be made for the next three years to fund Europe's annual interest debt into long-term obligations. Secretary of the Treasury Houston says that the- remainder of the credits to the allied nations authorised by congress will not be granted. Loans amount ing to $9,659,834,649 of the $10,000. 000,000 authorized have already been made. FREDERICK PEABODY WED Wealthy Shirt Manufacturer Mar ries Xoted War Worker. SAX LUIS OBISPO.
