lng sessions of the congress at which
the broad principles of the treaty will
be settled, but he will not remain lor
the subsequent detailed discussions
and settlements of the various ques
tions. This will be the work of the
commissioners he soon Is to appoint
to representee United States.
By carrying out this unusual pro
gram of having the conference draft
and adopt a general peace treaty at
the outset, the President - and the
entente premiers will be able shortly
after the commissioners assemDie iu
return to their own countries.
Who Will bo President?
: Since the suggestion that the Presi
dent attend the peace conference first
was made, there has been much dis
cussion here as to whether, while
absent from the country. h could
continue to act as President The
constitution Itself is silent on the
question and generally the question
Is regarded as one which the President
himself roast aeciae. ' v.
The prevailing opinion here Is that
Mr. Wilson -already has made up his
mind wn this subject. He does not
go to the peace conference as a dele
gate and, consequently, it is held that
should ha relinquish his authority and
functions of office, he would be with
out power to act for the United States
in the discussion.
There is ample precedent for the
President to leave the territorial lim
its of the United States. President
Harrison on one occasion went Into
Canada. ; while President Taft visited
both that country and Mexico. Presi
dent Roosevelt and also President Taft
visited the Panama canal sone.
Both Presidents Taft and Roosevelt
continued to perform the functions of
their office while on the visits to the
canal aone, sending Instructions to
Washington both by cable and wire
less. It was pointed out today that
the President could also in this man
ner attend to any pressing matters of
importance here while he is abroad.
To Cross on Battleship?
In all probability the President will
cross the Atlantic on an American
battleship, probably , on one of the
navy's newest dreadnaught While
on such a ship, It is claimed, he is on
American territory and technically
would ba absent from the country only
for such time as he actually Is on
foreign coil.- ,
If the President Intends to dele
gate any of the functions of his office
to Vice President Marshall, the vice
president has not been so Informed
and this fact In Itself was accepted In
some quarters as clearly Indicating
that the President has decided that
his physical absence from the coun
try does not create such a vacancy In
the office as to fall within the section
of the constitution which clothes the
vice president with authority to dis
charge the duties of the office during
the inability of the President to act.
The question of what effect the
President's absence will have on the
work of Congress was freely discussed
tonight in congressional circles. Many
held that the President could not ap
prove or veto legislation while absent
as the actual signature of the Presi
dent is required. Under the provision
of the constitution, if bills are not
aoted upon by the chief executive
within 10 daya after their ' passage
they automatically become effective.
Very little important business will
be transacted by Congress in Decem
ber under the program as now out
lined. No pressing legislative matters
now pending or in prospect are likely
to be completed before the expected
