lar session IN December. now hear
that the President has determined
to withdraw all of these treaties

II IS conceded that he has the right to
30 this before the treaties are acted on.

who have been eagerly working for
early action on them. 1t was not to be
supposed that the President and Secrc-
tary of State would be willing to father
the treaties Of McSsrS. Arthur and
FrclinghuySen without q searching
investigation OF their provisions.
The Nicaraguan treaty has become more
interesting because of the action Of the
Republic Of Guatemala in regard to as
stunning control of all the Central Anne
