WASHINGTON, July 9 (UP) — President Truman asked Congress today to end the state of war with Germany by a resolution that would be a temporary substi« tute for a peace treaty. Mr. Truman, in submitting a proposed draft of the war-ending resolution, noted that Russia has
“made it impossible for the tima being” to arrange a final settlement with Germany. The President's action was part of a concerted move by the West ern Allies to by-pass the Russian roadblock to a German peste treaty. The action is designed gener ally to strengthen the West Gere man republic by freeing it from certain restrictions that operate as long as a state of war exists technically.

The procedure being followed in the case of Germany is dif= ferent from that being followed in the case of Japan. The United States has called a treaty-signing meeting of Western Powers at San Francisco early in September— without first proclaiming a legal end to the war with Japan. Russia is in no position to block the Japanese peace treaty because she holds no territory of Japan {proper whereas she _ occupies {nearly half of Germany. | Both the German and Japan moves had psychological overs tones.
