TREATIES LAID EVEN MONROE
DOCTRINE OPEN TO ARBITRATION,
SAYS THE SENATE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Almost
in the same hour that the Senate com.
mittee on foreign relations reported
today to the Senate it's conviction that
the recently negotiated arbitration
treaties between this country and
Britain and France were breeders OF
bitterness and war" Germany
through it's ambassador here, was an.
nouncing it's desire to be party to a
similar arbitration compact with the
United States.
Germany made known to Secretary
Knox, through ambassador Won Bern
storff, it's acceptance of the general
principles of arbitration as laid down
in the secretary's draft recently sub
mitted A few exceptions were noted,
however, and Count Won Bernstorff
will sail Saturday for Germany to con-
suit his government further. He will
return in October.
While the conference was proceed
ing in the State Department, the com
,mittee on foreign relations presented
a report to the Senate declaring the
pending conventions with England
and France would more likely provoke
war than peace, if consummated in
their present form. The report was
in vigorous defense of the committees
course in recommending the eliminat-
ing of the paragraph in the treaties
comforting especial powers on the
joint high commission, created by the
conventions.
Senate Attack on Treaties.
The attack upon the treaties CEN
tered on the question of the Senate,
as part of the treaty-making machjn-
cry of the United States, giving its
consent to the investiture of the joint
commission with authority to deter
mine, without consulting the Senate,
whether matter of DISPUTE is justi-
fable and subject to arbitration.
The report was presented Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, and the mi
nority of the committee was granted
a week in which to present it's views
in support of the treaties as nego-
tlated.
Declaring the unselfish attitude of
the Senate and contending that it was
the duty of that body under the Con-
stitution to defend its own preroga-
tive, the committee report said:
1.-THE inclusion of the Senate as a
part of the treaty-making power was
provided upon mature consideration IN
the Constitution, and was deemed to
be adapted to our system of govern
ment. 1t has, on the whole, proved o.
the highest usefulness for the proven
ton of hasty and ill-considered agree
ments with other powers and for the
preservation of the interests of all and
every part of the American people.
So long as that duty rests upon us,
we must continue to perform it with

draws traffic from the Mediter-
ranean
1t is to San Francisco chiefly that
the White Star will look for a Pa
cific foothold. With the other large
Atlantic steamship companies it
shares the belief that with the open
ing of the canal large portion OF
the immigration movement that now
centers at New York will be divert
ed to San Francisco. 1t is eager to
be on the ground early and to have
all the necessary arrangements com
pleted we'll in advance of the date

Advantages Of Harbor.
The northern harbors on this
coast are subjected to private OWL
ership but in San Francisco the
docks are publicly controlled and
every company can come in on an
equal basis Many of the large com
panies, however, prefer to own and
operate their own terminals. Just
what course the White Star will pur
sue remains to be disclosed.
The . protected improvements IN
the local harbor will afford facilities
for these steamship lines at the
southern end OF the water front

evasion or abdication."
May Be Breeders of War.
There are certain questions at the
present stage of human development"
the report concludes, (which, if thus
forced forward for arbitration, would
be rejected by the country affected,
without regard to whether in so doing
they broke the general arbitration
treaty or not In the opinion of the
committee it should not be possible,
under the terms of any treaty, for
such a deplorabie situation to arise.
Nothing ought to be promised that we
are not absolutely certain we can car
ry out to the letter.
eff the third clause of article III re-
mains in the treaty it is quite possible
that the unhappy situation just de-
scribed might arise, and the treaty
would then become not what we
fondly hope it will be, a notable in
strument of peace, but an ill-omened
breeder of bitterness and, war For
that reason, as we'll as on constitu-
tional grounds, and in the best inter
ests of peace and arbitration itself,
the committee recommends that this
clause be stricken from the treaty"
The report was prepared in accord
ance with a resolution adopted by the
Senate while in executive session last
Saturday
Practically the entire report is taken
up with a defense of the committees
action in striking out of the treaties
the PROVISION authorizing the arbitra-
ton committee to determine the jus
ticiable character of any given sub
ject submitted for arbitration without
reference to the Senate's power OF
ratification.
The committee strongly favored
every proper advice in the arbitration
bill, but was unwilling to have the
Senate abdicate it's powers.
The opinion was advanced that UNI
der the terms of the treaty any ques-
ton arising under the Monroe doc
trine or questions pertaining to immi-
grafton or territorial integrity might
be determined without the constitu-
tional cooperation of the Senate. The
report admitted that at this time no
nation would think of raising these
questions, but the committee added:
If we accept this treaty with the
third clause of article III included, we
invite other nations to raise these
very questions and to endeavor to
force them before an arbitral tribunal.
Such an invitation would be a breeder
of war and not of Teace and would
arouse a series of disputes, now hap
PLY and entirely at rest, into danger
Gus Gctivity. To issue such an invita-
ton is not, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, the way to promote that uni !
versal peace which we all most earn
estly desire"

canal commission has promptly begun
the surveys, and the work of leveling
the sites will begin today. Six sites
have been selected, four at the Pacific
entrance, all on islands at the en-
frances of the canal, and two on the
points opposite Cristobal and Colon, at
the Atlantic entrance.
The most important feature of the
fertilization problem yet remains to
be solved, however. This is the ques-
ton of the number and caliber of
guns. Nothing less than Pinch cali
Der will be used, however, and this
size will be confined to the mortars.
The disappearing guns probably will
be of the new type of 14-inch gun,
which recently was adopted by the
army, and there is a strong probability
that this size may even be increased
to guns of 16-inch caliber, weapons
larger than any now in use.
This question will be determined
largely by the estimates that are now
being prepared, which are to be based
on a maximum of Sl2,OOO,0OO for the
entire fertilization and defense prof
ect.

WICKERSHAM SAYS TOBACCO TRUST
DECISION IS VERY DRASTIC AND
DESCRIBES ITS PRACTICAL EFFECTS

Attorney General Wickersham, dis
cussing the Standard Oil and Tobacco
Trust decisions in an address before
the American Bar Association last
month, made the following remarks:
Probably no more drastic decree
has ever been entered by the Supreme
Court than this. The court RENTS to
the circuit court the execution of a
decree of dissolution of a combination
of siXty-seven corporations and TWEEN
ty-nine individuals, with assets
amounting to upward Of $4OO,OOO,OOO
book value and net earnings exceed
ing $36,OOO,OOO err annum; which had
acquired II per cent of the entire bus
mess of the United States in manu-
featured tobacco, plug and smoking to-
bacco; 96 per cent Of snuff; II per
cent of cigarettes; 81 per cent of lit
tie cigars, and IA per cent of cigars
and stogies. and which has acquired
probably the most extensive monop-
oily of interstate and foreign commerce
ever created in the world. This COM
bination was ordered to be resolved
into, not necessarily it's original ele-
ments, but, in effect, to be divided up
into a number of separate and dis
tinct integers, no one of which should
threaten monopoly, and which should
not either by reason of their organiza-
ton and business or in their relation
to each other constitute combinations
in restraint of interstate or foreign
commerce. The Supreme Court not
only emf owered but directed the cir.
cult court, in case this lawful condi-
ton should not be brought about with.
in a period of six or eight months, to
either appoint receiver of this vast
property for the purpose of, by sale
or otherwise, working out the ordered
disintegration, or by injunction to
paralyze and end its conduct of inter
state business. Those who have
thoughlessly yielded to the superb
cial conclusion resulting from the az
plication by the chief justice of the
rule of reason to the Interpretation
of the Sherman law, can find but lit
tie to justify the idea that the Sher-
man law has been rendered ineffective
by those two decisions, for precisely
the contrary is clearly established by
these great judgments. The most
cursory examination of the decree in
the tobacco case, the most casual con-
sderation of the drastic and far-reacn-
ing remedy imposed, makes it perfect
ly apparent that the Sherman law,
perhaps for the first time, has been
demonstrated to be an actual, effect,
I've weapon to the accomplishment OF
the purpose for which it was primar-
lily enacted, namely, the destruction
of the great combinations familiarly
known as trusts.
Tobacco Case Hard One.
"A far more intricate problem was
PRESENTED in the tobacco case than in
the Standard Oil case, as was frankly
recognized by the court. Convey
ances, consultations, and mergers,
and the dissolution of previously eX-
isting corporations whose stocks and
properties had been acquired, had so
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-08-23

blended the whole combination into
new form as to make it impossible to
effect a dissolution by the simple
method applicable to the Standard Oil
case, and therefore the Supreme Court
said that in determining the relief
proper to he given, it might not model
it's action upon that granted by the
court below, but i'm order to award re-
lief coterminous with the ultimate
redress Of the wrongs which the court
found to exist, it must approach the
subject Of relief from an original point
of view. In considering the subject
from that aspect, the court said that
three dominant influences must guide
its action:
81. The duty of giving complete
eiiicacious effect to the prohibitions
Of the statute; 2, the accomplishment
of this result with as little injury as
possible to the interest of the general
l'ublic; and, 3, a proper regard for the
vast interests of private property
which may have become vested in
many persons without any
guilty knowledge or intent in any way
to become actors or participants in
the wrongs which we find to have in
spired and dominated the combination
from the beginning
The Possible Remedies.
For the purpose of meeting that
situation the court declared that it
might at once resort to one or the
ether of two general remedies:
"(a) The allowance of a permanent
injunction restraining the combination
as a universally and the individuals
and corporations which form a part
of or cooperate in it in any manner
or form from continuing to engage in
interstate commerce until the illegal
situation be cured or, OBJ
to direct the appointment of a re-
ceiver to take charge of the assets
and property in this country of the
combination in all its ramifications
for the purpose OF preventing a con-
tinued violation of the law, and thus
working out by a sale of the property
of the combination or otherwise a con-
dition of things which would not be
repugnant to the prohibitions of the
act.
THE court. however, in considera-
ton of the public interests and that of
innocent participants, determined to
send the case back to the circuit
court, with directions to endeavor to
ascertain and determine upon some
Llan or method of dissolving the com.
bination and working out a lawful
condition of things, if that could be
done within a period of six months,
with a possible extension of two
months longer; but that in the event
that such condition of disintegration
in conformity with the law should not
be brought about within that time, it
should be the duty Of the court either
by way of an injunction restraining
the movement of the products of the
combination in the channels of inter-
state or foreign commerce or by the
appointment of a receiver to give eff.
feet to the requirements of the stat.
