" •There is a inateHardift'erence be-

“I may inject here the opinion that

disabused of that impression, lie, coll'

elare peace between the United States
and Germany. This morning's Post in
i— forms the public that
“After a conference yesterday be-
tween Senator Lodge and Representa-
tive Porter, chairmen of the Senate
and House Committees on Foreign Re-
lations, the conviction grew among
members of both parties in <'(ingress
that President Wilson will not be able
___to prevent an end being mndc to the
existing state of technical war exist
ing between the United States and
Germany. A simple resolution separ-
ate from the Versailles treaty, declar-
ing a state of peace, it was claimed
yesterday, will jiass both houses by
large majorities, and, according to
the present outlook, may reach the
two-thirds necessary under the Con-
situation to override a presidential
veto.
“Mr. President, I am as heartily and
anxiously in favor of the establishment
of actual peace between the United
States and the Central Empires at the
earliest possible moment as any man
can be. I Sill more tha.ll willing to
stretch any doubt regarding the .power
of Congress to enact such a resolution
as that referred to in the article troni
animous verdict of ail the delegates.
“In the Federalist I find this refer-
ence to the subject, which is indirect.
I read an extract from the Federalist,
No. 74, by Hamilton.
“The President of the United
States is to lie ‘Commander in Chief
of the Army and Navy of the United
States and of the militia...of the sev-
eral States when called into the ac
tnal service of the United States. The
propriety of this is so evident in it-
Separation troni the Department of
Insurance Suggested, With Banks
to Suggest Commissioner.
Charles (). \ list in, former commis-
sioner of insurance and banking of
Texas! Who is now v ice president of
the Da lias Trust and Savings bank, one
of the State’s largest financial institu-
tions, is of .t'lie Opinion- that now is an
opportune tiim- for- representatives of
State banks to take ac.tion for securing
the adoption of soiffe liew laws.
Among the laws which seem very de-
sirable to be passed in order tp promote
the greatest development of the State
system, the following are suggested-;,
A law reducing the amount of actual
cash reserve now required to be carried
by State banks to the amount permitted
seven years actual experience as presi-
dent, vice president, or cashier of a
successful incorporated banking insti
tlltioll.
A law that the head of the Banking
}-Department shall be appointed from a
given number (preferably three) cjf
qualified bankers* whose names shall
ha\e been selected bv referendum vote
,of the State banks in business in Texas.
A law prohibiting the transaction of
a banking business by express eompan-
icsNipcrutiiig in Texas.
A I a tv permitting Guaranty Fund
banks to advertise .their membership in!
the State Guaranty Fund without re-,
striefions as at present exist.

that they should do unto you.”

,” says
Constitutions in general that little
may be said to explain or enforce it.
Even those of them which have in
other respects coupled the" Chief
Magistrate w ith a council have‘for
the most part concentrated the mili-
tary authority in him alone. Of all
the cares or concerns of government,
the direction of war most peculiarly
demands those qualities which dis-
tinguish the exercise of power by a
single hand. The direction of war
implies the direction of the common
strength, and the power of directing
anil employing the common strength,
forms a usual and essential part in
the definition of the Executive au-
thority,

and 1 SGI he would probably have
found our Government sufficiently
‘elastic,’ for, as. Mr. Bryce remarks,
the powers of the President ill war
time, ‘and especially in civil war,"
expand with ‘portentous speed.’ In-
deed, Lincoln went so far as to as-
sert that ‘as Commander in Chief of
the Army and Navy in time of war I
suppose T have the right to take any
measures which may best subdue the
is | enemy.’
, “Of course** I assume that t'lie reso-
abandniimelit of hos- j lat ions which formed the sub ject of
press eoinment are joint and not con-
current. Indeed, they could be nothing
else, and be considered at all, since
the resolution declaring war was a
joint resolution approved by the Presi-
dent in April, 1‘.H7, thus requiring a
similar resolution to repeal it. It that
be saTof course the presidential approv-
r
onfidentlv to an
early period-wlien, by act of < ongress,-a
technical state of war will no longer
exist.
“There are but three known ways of
effecting peace, if the authorities upon
international law are reliable. I'm
by conquest, another by negotiation,
and third by an abandonment of hos- (
tilittes, and none of these even-hint, at
the existence of legislative power in
America to so declare. Doubtless the
House of Commons possesses that power
as it is the custodian of the supreme
sovereignty of the British Empire. But
no such power inheres in the American
have esenpetp al is essential to the resolution. ()t
The subject seems to .
the consideration of writers upon inter- course' peace by joint reso.uti
national law, doubtless because of the
very r>..p.»r..assumption that no author-
ity exists.

being to amend the phrase to declare
war by addition ‘and peace,’ so that iif

‘to declare war and peace.’
In yolume 1 of Elliott’s Debates, page

“ ‘ It was moved and seconded to a#ld

“I gatlier from this recital that the
original proposal upon the subject em-

word ‘declare,’ because this report con-
