Rep. Campbell Opens Debate on Joint Peace Resolution
WOULD RETURN TO PEACE REGULATION
Want Government with Three Separate and Independent Branches—Vote on Passage of Resolution Comes Late Friday.
WASHINGTON, April 8.—Declaring that the war with Germany was over and that congress should assert the fact, Chairman Campbell of the rules committee opened in the house today the fight for adoption of the joint resolution declaring the state of war at an end. The galleries were crowded at the beginning of the debate which will close late tomorrow to be followed by a vote on passage of the resolution.
Mr. Campbell said the people were wearied by a year and half of life under an executive with war-time powers in times of peace and long for the freedom of a government with three separate and independent branches.
Adoption of the Republican peace resolution tomorrow by the house was indicated today when the rule limiting debate to nine hours was adopted, some Democrats joining the Republicans in supporting it. The vote was 213 to 135. Immediately afterward the debate on the resolution itself was opened. It will continue until 5 p.m. tomorrow, when a vote on resolution is expected.
