population migrate to South America.

Senator Lodge is opposed to the dl'
cussion of the arbitration treaty in open
session, and we believe his opposition is
justified. An open discussion in the Senate
will inevitably result in a lot of stump
speeches made not SO much for elucidat-
ing the treaty or pointing out Its merits
or defects, as for the purpose of airing
the Senators likes or dislikes Of Great
Britain. People who advocate open dis
cussion seem to do SO because they think
that public sentiment in favor of the
treaty will tend to constrain Senators
when they are III the public view. But
there is probably another public senti-
ment that Opposes any treatysswith Great
Britain and that would noisily applaud
every Senator who agresd with it and gave
the British lions tail severe twisting.
This public sentiment against the treaty
is just as likely to be catered to bysmany
of the Senators as that in favor of 1t
so that it is dou btful if anything would
be gained for the trsaty by an open dis
cussion. But the gain If there were any
would be Offset by the bad preceden t
which it would set of conducting foreign
negotiations in public.
