SENATORS ON
THEIR DIGNITY
Over New Peace Pact With
the Japanese.
No Treaty, But Merely an Exchange
of Notes ON the Pacific Situa-
ton.
is SECRETARY ROOTS PLAN

II Washington, Dec. at developed
that the senate has-or thinks 1t has
"a quarrel with Secretary Root over
the manner in which the new peace
pact with Japan has been formed,
and as the first step in what prom
! Uses to be an animated row it is prob
able a resolution will be reported
next week out OF the senate commit
tee on foreign relations calling upon
the state department for all of the
papers and other information bearing
upon the subject. 1t is by aioptin6
such a resolution as this that the SEN
ate usually starts a fight with the ex-
lecutive branch of the government.
The senate sees in the new agree
ment" or exchange of notes" an
other executive usurpation. The con-
stitution of the United States makes
the senate part of the treaty-making
power and provides that no treaty
shall be effective unless 1t Is ratified
by the senate. 1t CRATES on the nerves
of the senators that they should be
excluded, contrary to the peace and
dignity of the constitution, from any
part in the epochal diplomatic achieve
ment that has just been concluded.
The state department is under suspi-
cion of having stolen a march on the
senate.
In order to circumvent the senate,
the administration invoked a modern
process which isn't treaty-making in
the constitutional sense, but which is
ltantamount to the same thing. This
process is known as note-exchange.
The administration for a long time
has chafed under the restraint of
having to run to the senate for ap-
proval whenever it wanted to make
treaty. The senators did not az
ways, or often, for that matter, think
like the president thought. 1t be
came necessary, according to the ad-
ministration view, either to keep out
of the treaty business or else devise
some way to give the senate the,
go-by.
Secretary Roots Plan.

sourceful, hit upon the plan of swap
ping notes. Washington wrote TO
Tokyo and Tokyo wrote to Washing
ton and in this way an agreement
was patched up which does all the
work of a treaty and yet is not a
treaty. Never before was so moment
Gus a diplomatic proposal framed up
In such form.
The senate is going to turn its
coolest and haughtiest stare on this
new form Of making treaties. Fur.
thermore, it is going to know why
the senate was ignored in these nego-
tiations. Some of the senators are
so mad that they are seeing things.
They profess to believe that the new
Acknowledgements agreement is moth
ing more nor less than an entangling
alliance which may sooner or later
involve the United States in a world
wide war. From indications, many
an hour will be spent discussing the
subject in the senate this winter, and
the particular question which will be
submitted and debated up one siiel
and down the other is whether the
senate is going to submit to being
buncoed out of its time-honored
rights by this patent process of treaty

which has been piled up in hiding

Treasury is about $4,000, ,O0O, 900
Something like $500, 900 200 OF this sum
will be found in the vaults of the Ma

hsps in trust company reserves, State
banks, savings banks and private
banks. We may set aside a further
amount of $4OO. 900 O0o to represent un-
