vested in or reserved 10 the states.
In international Affairs there are no
states; there is but one nation, act
ing in direct relation To and repre-
, sentation OF every citizen In every
state. Every treaty made under
the authority OF the United States
is made by the national government,
as the direct and sole representa-
tive OF every citizen OF the United
States residing in California equally
with every citizen OF the United
States residing elsewhere. II Is, OF
course, conceivable that, under pre-
tense OF exercising the treaty-mak.
ing power, the President and senate
might attempt 10 make provisions
regarding matters which are not
proper subjects OF international
agreement. and which would be only
n colorable-not a real--exeroise OF
the treaty-making power; but so far
as the real exercise OF the power
goes, there can be no question OF
state rights, because the constitu-
tion Itself. In the most explicit
terms. has precluded the existence
OF any such question.
No Question OF States Rights

would be substituting the mere will

tuition.
There was. therefore, no real ques-
tion OF power arising under this Jap

The school system thus provided
school privileges for all resident chill

resident children we're included in

purposes; the fund for the support
Of the school was raised by genera
