THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

We print this morning from the New
York "Herald's" special report the full
text of the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain. 1t will repay reading,
since it is probably the most important
treaty of the century. A distinguished
constitutional and international law
student of New York has raised the
question whether Article VI. Of the
Treaty does not amount to a yielding of
the Monroe doctrine on our part and
constitute a virtual surrender of that
doctrine. In his opinion it does, and
OH that ground he advises that the
treaty be not ratified by the Senate.
The article relates to disputes con-
corning territorial claims, which are
to be referred to a special arbitration
beard. Amy Judgment of such board
must have the concurrence of five
members out of the six. If there is no
such Judgment, there shall be no hos
tile demonstrations made until there Is
time to invoke the friendly offices of
other great Powers.
With the full text before the reader
h.- will be better able to follow the
debates and comments made upon that
subject 1t certainly would seem to
justify the claim that it vacates the
Monroe doctrine. The Record Union"
has opposed a general court Of arbitra-
ton since the proposition was first
preached, on the ground that it would
work surrender Of our diplomatic in
dependence, and put an end to even
the beginnings of diplomatic school
among American statesmen
