TREATY MAKING POWERS
SCORED BY LAW EDITOR
fRx Associated Press.l


ST. LOUIS, Feb. u.-That the president
and the senate of the United States,
through their treaty-making powers,
may override the policies Of any state.
may overturn all its legislation having
reference to aliens" and that sit is evi-
dent that ill-advised legislators of Califor-
MIA and Nevada are making this nation
ridiculous in the eyes of the world" are
conclusions offered by Alexander c. Rob
bins. editor of the Central Law Journal,
in an editorial which appeared today
eff treaty stipulations with any nation
should per chance override the policies OF
any state, or subvert legislation which
any particular state may think necessary.
the appeal should not be to the state Leg
islature but to the senate of the United
states. before such treaty is confirmed"
saws Mr.. Robbins. after such treaty ia
confirmed It becomes the supreme law of
the land. all laws OF any state to the con-
trary notwithstanding"
Even state legislatures, says the editor
ial. must retire humbly from the field, in
the face Of treaty-making powers Of the
federal government"
A decision by Justice Field, of the SUI
preme court OF the United States, Is quot
ed to show the extent Of the treaty power.

Clean Bill of Health
Late last night the federal health officers
az the Mississippi river passes made ar
rauReueuts to expedite the trip TO New
Orleans as much as was In their power,
by going out to the North Carolina on a
tug and issuing a clean bill OF health for
those on board. This did away with the
necessity of a long stop at Quarantine,
together with a lengthy inspection, and
serious delay. IN consequence.
Necessary changes In the program and
unlooked-for delays made the exact time
