An unpleasant report comes to hand con
corning the peace negotiations 1t Is said thar
Spain's acceptance Of the Presidents generous
offer Is made conditional upon the assent or the
Cortes Constituencies That is the require
ment we are told, of the Spanish Constitution
Article ~ of that instrument forbds the Gov
eminent 10 ALLEVIATE any Spanish territory, or
even to enter into negotiations to that end
without first securing special authorization
from the Cortes And so the Spanish answer
tn the President has what Is vugnrly called "a
string TO H." The United States is expected TO
stop fghtng and enter upon negotiations sub
feet TO the possibility that month or two hence
tho Cortes may declare the whole business null
and void. and the Spanish Ministry say, I'VE
told you So 1t was all conditional.
Well that Is not the American way OF doing
busincss. and no such way can be acceptable
70 This Nation We are not dealing with the
Snapsh Cortes. nor discussing tho Spanish Con
stitutjon. Their powers and provisions are OF
no more than academic interest 10 us. We are
dealing with the Spanish Government, win

,ster and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. the

Their powers TO negotiate are matters OF their
own concern not ours If they are to nego-
\ tate, they should have plcnary powers. Other
wise they are out of court. The President did
not make his offer conditional upon the assent
Of Congress- 1t was absolute He has the
right TO expect the Spanish acceptance. If ac-
ccptance there be, to be equally absolute AMI
unconditional. and under no rule Of law or
morals can he he asked TO receive one that Is
not Spain is free TO accept or to reject his
offer She Is not free to temporzc over IT,
The issue is not new one. II came UP four
months ago. When the President made his
first demands for reforms In Cuba the Spanish
Government replied that il had no power 10

Cortes and the COrtes was not then In session.
And so It temporlzcd until forbearance ceased

disappointment to have that credit shown TO
have been misplaced. For that reason II Is to
be hoped this suinor is not true. The Spanish
Government has had ample time since The war
began to get from the Cortes such grants OF

Rather he rcIolccs AZ responsibilities which may

| If this Is true with men. why should 1t not
be true with nations? The great nations are
those that do not fear their fate too much.
Suppose England had said ut the end Of the

capacIty for governing external territories that
