Wilson Says He Can and Will
: Turn Down Concurrent Res
olution DecHring War At
i End; Constiif -tion Is Cited.
. S; v:
- Washington, Nov. 21.-1 s Lodge concurrent resolu
tion which declares the y ' at an end can and will be
vetoed by President Wilso r ti case it is passed by both
house and senate, in the o lion of high administration
officials today. They cited constitution to prove that
the president has this power.
Tills on 1110 ns an evident sur
prise to supporters of 'the Lodge
resolution which was introduced in
congress just before adjournment.
. They believe the executive hnd no
authority to Interfere? with acon
current resolution and that the
Iiodge measure could be passed by
both houses, thus ending the war
without adoption of the peace
treuly. Discovery of the constitu
tional authority which hitherto
has seldom, if ever, been exer
cised by a President, was consid
ered a blow to their plans.
Tho administration supporters cited
trticle one, section seven, paragraph
three of the constitution as their au
thority. It reads as follows:
. Constitution Cited.
"Every order, resolution or vote to
which the concurrence of the senate
and. house of representatives may be
necessary (except on a question of ad
journment) shall be presented to the
president of the United States and be
fore the same shall, take effect snail
be approved by him or being disap
proved by him, shall be repassed by
tvo-thirds of the senate and the house
of representatives, according to the
rules and limitations prescribed in
case f a bill."
This, ! the administration contends.
undoubtedly gives Wilson authority to
veto the Lodge measure.
Veto Is Certain.
The president apparently Is deter
mined to veto Lodge's proposal, con
fident that two-third vote cannot be
. marshalled in congress to pass it over
his head. Thus he plans to prevent
the war being officially ended until
the peace treaty has been adopted.
At Speaker Gillette's office it was
stated that it was not customary to
Bond concurrent resolutions to the
.president, but that in this case n
would undoubtedly be necessary under
the constitution, his opinion was ex
pressed after the constitutional pro
vision had been scanned. Before that,
the impression was that it was not nec
essary to send such resolutions to the
While House.
Senator Lodge, author of the resolu
tion, was in Boston, it was said at his
office,
Old Opinions Support.
Administration officials also declar
ed that in an opinion rendered in 185-S
by Attorney General Cushing, stated
that congress could not pass any law
whicji in effect "coerces the discretion
of the president except with his appro
bation, unless by a concurrent vote of
two thirds of both houses upon his
previous refusal to sign a bill."
Another opinion, on this question,
cited by the administration, is con
tained in a report by the senate judi
ciary committee, made January 26;
1S97, as the result of an investigation
of the question as to whether a con
current resolution required the presi
dent's signature.
"Whether concurrent resolutions are
required to be sent to the president of
tho United States must depend not up
on their mere form but unon the fact
whether they contain matter which in sioner."

does not affect the sale of whiskey or
its release from bond, the decision
specified.

RATIFICATION
WE ISSUE Of

By Raymond Clapper

Washington, Nov. 21. Ratification
of the peace treaty appeared today to

the 1920 presidential election. Many
prominent men of both parties here

U HARD AT
WORK ON MESSAGES
OF VITAL IMPORT
By Hugh Ballllc
( United Press Staff Correspondent.)
ushington, Nov. 21. President
Wilson within ten days, will make his
supreme effort to end inroads of the
bolshevikl into America's social struc
ture p.nd at the same time, make the
United States a member of the league
of rations.
J ne president today was working
vigorously on . two state documents
which he intends shall be the most
compelling of his administration. One
of these is a message to congress, to
be delivered December 1 and the oth
er the message to the- new industrial
commission, called to bring about
peace between labor and capital, which
probably will convene here the same
day congress meets.
Wilson Is writing a strong appeal to
congress to take up again and ratify
me peace treaty. He Is preparing an
argument which tho administration
tiopes will bring about a compromise
and speedy ratification. If it doesn
then the president is ready to see the
fight carried into the 1920 national
election in which, however, he will not
participate beyond urging voters re
gardltss of party affiliations to dem
onstrate they want the United States to
join the league.
Wilson is anxious to go before con
gress and deliver his message in per
son. This is opposed by his physl
cians.

TREATY DEFEAT
By Thomas Nelson Page
(Former ambassador to Italy)
(Written for the United Press)
Washington, Nov., 21. I consider
defeat of the peace treaty as an im
measurable misfortune. Those who
defeated it have' assumed the most
terrible responsibility which any men
have assumed In oui" time. Its effect
must be to plunge Europe into even
deeper chaos, from hlch America
can hardly escape entirely. Those who
were most against the treaty and
the league of nations were the Ger
mans, the extreme Sinn Felners, the
W. W. and the bolshevlsts. Those
who have just killed the treaty, how
ever sincere their mqtlves, have given
these cause for great rejoicing..
. Treaty Not Perfect
None -maintain that the treaty or
the league was perfect. But everyone
knows in his heart that it was a bet
ter treaty and sanction titan was hop
ed for one year ago' . J
Just one year ago and a little more.
America and the world were holding
their breath--at what was happening
in France. We were, vowing to God
that if peace were vouchsafed us,
that thing which was destroying the
world and had swept away so many
millions of men should never come
again. The ruins of France and Italy'
stilt were smoking. Our men were dy
ing by thousands in the Argonne and
along the other fronts to save the
world and it was saved.
.No Kxcuhc for V. 8.
I was present when David Lloyd-
George laid the treaty of peace on
the table of the house of commons
and declared that the league of na
tions was the only means of future
safety In sight and that he could not
imagine how any sensible man could
oppose it being fully tried out. Since
that time tho treaty has been approv
ed by all the allies.
But the senate of the United States
has rejected alike the treaty and the
league . of nations. Thus the United
States and China stand out alone
against the treaty and league. China
may have a defensible reason, but
what reason have we? If the treaty
did not protect America then human
intelligence has no sound basis.
F.uronc Hard Hit
Europe is in a condition bordering
on chaos and this is not likely to
bring order there. The first thing will
be Germany's relief from the exact
ions of the treaty. Can it be that she
now will put forth her efforts to pay
the great reparation amount imposed
upon her unless Indeed she recognizes
that the present situation offers the
unexpected chance for her to con
quer the world once more commer
cially? . If not this, then the result
must and probably will bo in any
event re-establlshment of great arm
aments. Means Big Arnuimcnts
The league of nations, having been
repudiated by us, the result to us is
clear. It means we must Inaugurate
here a great armament. We, Germany
and China alone stand outside of the
league, which at present constitutes
a sort of inchoate alliance, of. those
who have entered It. The present sit
uatlon as 1 see it is that , we have
had a chance to escape from being
overwhelmed in what threatened to
be a universal deluge and the senate
has thrown it away. We must now
find some other ark of safety.
The chief builder of the ark that
promised us rescue worked himself
nearly to death to save us. And it
looks as if those who were not called
in to help build the ark have sunk
it. What will they give us in its
place?

Washington, Nov. 21. The United
States regarding the Mexican situation
as delicate, will proceed with the great
est caution in the. case of William O.
Jenkins, American consular agent Im
prisoned ftt Puebla, it was learned to
day at the state department.
Responsible officials-would not pre

cans refused to release Jenkins, as de
manded by this government in a sharp
note. Nothing has happened to change
the belief that Mexico. will comply with
America's demands that a crisis wUl
vanish, it was stated. '
"Crisis" Is Denied.
"There Is no crises and there will be
none," Mexican .Ambassador Bonillas
told the United Press today. ."I trust
to the good judgment and good sense
of American; authortiy and the Ameri
can people. It is just a case of the
Jingoistic press trying to inflame' tho
people. When the true information is
known, this case will be like so many
others, in which crisis were supposed
to exist." - . .
At the-'Mexican embassy It was pre
dicted that Mexico's reply probably
would be a recital of the reasons for
Jenkins 'arrest, if he was arrested, with
an explanation that whatever -action I
was tt ken was based on law.
'" So Talk of Action. ,
"As fiir'ns we know there has been
