THE TREATY DEADLOCK. POWERS OF CONGRESS DISCUSSED. By Telejrnpli.—Press Assn.—Copyrluht. Received April 7, 8,35 p.m. New York, April C. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states: Mr. Porter, chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee of Foreign Affairs, declared Congress was clearly within its constitutional powers to declare peace, and he offered to rule in such a way. No amendment could be submitted to the peace resolution when it was taken up in the House of Representatives. Mr. Venr.ble declared that the resolution, if passed, would not have effect so far as its legal efficacy was concerned, and it was an important assault upon the constitution. Mr. Little insisted that Congress had power to end war since it could declare war—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
