sAEro DoMlxeo TREATY RATIFIED

SANTO DUN iNGO TREATY HA1IFIBDs
President Roosevelt has achieved an
other triumph over senate opponents
Of some of his policies by securing a
ratification of the treaty between the
United States and Santo Domingo,
which has been hanging fire in the SEN
ate for more than year. The original
treaty was opposed by some senator's,
both republican and democratic, be-
cause they feared 1t involved an alli-
ance of the entangling brand, but the
successful operation Of the modus
vivendi, substituted by the president
when the ratification of the treaty was
withheld, served to end hostility to the
agreement between the United States
and the Dominican republic and. the
senate has finally agreed to the plan
which the executive established with
out>waiting for the ratification of the
treaty. The disposal Of this measure
removes all probability of an extra
session of the congress. about which

AS the prime features of the treaty
have been in operation, under the pres
ident's orders, for nearly two years,
the effect of the formally ratified doc
ument may be easily forecasted since
the treaty merely gives legal validity
to an arrangement based on expedi-
ENJOY. The record shows that much
has been accomplished in the way of
pulling santo Domingo out Of the mire
of bad debts and unstable government
by American Intervention. Placing the
collection of customs in the hands of
American oflcials for the purpose of
providing a fund for the payment of
obligations Of the republic removes
the danger of revolutions which used
to occur in the island every time the
customs authorities were found to have
few extra dollars in their possession.
Under the new treaty 1t is stipulated
that the American government shall
have charge of the customs collections
untfi the debts of the island have been
extinguished. This. at the present
rate. will require American supervis-
lon of Dominican revenues for twenty
years or more. by which time the
Dominicans should have learned the
lesson OF good government and be IN

be on this country. it will undoubtedly
