THE PROTOCOL

the following from the n Y Tribune:

that the Executive not only involved himsel;;
In serious dilemma, but is painfully consciou;
OF the fact. Of course, he puts on a bold;
brusque face, and insists that the Protocol eli:
ther amounts to nothing, or, if it does involv,
us In obligations which the Senate had delib1
erately refused to sanction, why then it is os
no valid or binding force This last get ois
IS simply trifiing and absurd. Our commits:

the President ratified the act ; and, though tho

states that their ratification of the treaty was
