The main question, indeed the only ques-

that body will sustain the administration
in the only course that it could have taken.
We cannot see that anything is to be
gained by delay. From every point of view
it would seem a though ratification were
the only possible policy. The best interests
of the country call for prompt and favor
able action on the treaty. The people feel
that the first step toward the solution of
our difficulties = the speedy ratification of
the treaty negotiated by the administra-
