the treaties practically bind the Senate
To submit to the consideration and de-
termination of such a commission GER
tain matters concerning the arbitra-
bility Of which there is difference OF
opinion. What then? How could such
commission be created without THE
advice and consent Of the Senate !!
The President would appoint the COM
mssioners. but their appointment would
hot be valid unless and until ratified by
the Senate. That is obvious. because II
the general provisions Of the Consttu-
ton, Article III, Section 2, were not
sufficient TO assure it, the Senate itself
could require it In the special agree
ment," which the treaties state must
have It's advice and consent.
The Joint High Commission is, gen.
orally speaking, to be composed of three
nationals or citizens Of each Of the two
parties to the suit. Manifestly, then, q
commission composed of three English
men or three Frenchmen on the one
| hand and on the other OF three Amer
| leans nominated by the President, by
"and with the advice and consent OF
1.-The Senate" could not correctly be
described as one composed wholly of
| foreigners" or as one upon the COM
position of which the Senate has no
control whatever" But, finally, there
is the provision which we have already
quoted. that "the commission may be
otherwise constituted in any particular
cease" That naturally means that its
numbers may be varied TO less or more
than three on each side. That 1t means
that one party may be represented on 1t
by aliens instead of nationals is con-
ceivable, through copious exercise of the
imagination, though, Of course, that
would have TO be at the free volition OF
the party concerned, and in such an ex-
| traordinary case the alien agents OF
| this country would still be chosen by
and with the consent of the Senate, and
would thus be subject to its control.
| That IL means that the commission
might in any case be constituted by any
authority, alien or domestic, without the
/ CtuStilI ana lueItIOIe Tue COulIOl VI thc
/ Senate is inconceivable. There is no
ground for such an assumption in the
statement that the membership Of the
commission shall be determined in each
case by an exchange of notes" because
no gagements in such notes could be
valid without the assent Of the Senate.
Just so in the preceding article the
treaties say that the special agreement
Shall become binding when confirmed
"by an exchange Of notes" But all the
notes in the world could not make it
binding without the previous advice
and consent Of the Senate"
There may he, as we have said from
the beginning, legitimate differences Of
opinion as to the propriety and even the
c0nstitutiOnality Of the Senate's dele
eating any Of its powers to a commits
sion. even to the slight extent required
/ by these treaties. We do not see how
there can be the slightest dissent from
the proposition that the American half
Of the contemplated commission would
always be in an ample and sufficient
degree under the control of the Senate,
ard indeed existent only "by and with
the advice and consent of that body.

SOCIAL NOTES FROM NEWPORT

lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune
Newport, Aug. H.-An automobile mix-up
in front of the Casino this mornig caused
the joke to be on Lawrence l.. Gillespie.
He enjoyed the laugh as well as his
friends, and had to hire a cab to go home
in. Mr.. Gillespie drove up in his electric
runabout and went inside Of the Casino
office. Miss Frederick Paine, who owns a
similar car, came out, and, seeing the Gil
lespie automobile, jumped In and started
off for her home. She did not discover the
mistake until she reached home. She later
returned the runabout 10 Mr. Gillespie. but
in the mean time. he had been conducting
an informal search 10 see who had ridden
off with his machine.

A PROMISE TO BE AMIABLE
Arbitration Treaties Not Antagonistic
to Monroe Doctrine.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On August 10 you printed an inter-
esting letter from Samuel l.. Parrish. Of
Southampton. He disparages the proposed
treaties with England and France, and
undertakes TO prove our unwillingness to
accept arbitration on matters of national
honor or vital interest by reviewing the
history of the Monroe Doctrine Intelli-
gent discussion. like that by Mr.. Parrish.
Is much needed in America, and in that
sense one must welcome his letter. Permit
me 10 say, however, that l heartily dis
agree with it.
The history OF the Monroe Doctrine does
not prove our unwillingness TO arbitrate
The Holy Alliance existed to re-establish
monarchy In Europe and Spanish mon
archy in South America. 1t did not consult
the will Of any people. II was not willing
to submit its pretensions to the Just prin-
ciples OF any international court Its
method was the very opposite Of arbltra-
ton. its purpose the very opposite OF JUS
tice. Against such unjust and such un-
reasonable pretensions as these the original
doctrine protested. in 1923. The Monroe
Doctrine, therefore, came into being not
because. refused arbitration but because
We could not get 1t because the Holy ALI
ance refused IL.
The principle Of the Monroe Doctrine has
since been formally invoked by Tyler, Polk.
Buchanan, Grant and Cleveland I'm regard
10 Hawaii. Texas, Upper California, Yucca
tan. Mexico. Santo Domingo and Venez-
uela. In almost every instance the appli-
cation of the doctrine was this. namely.
that by that doctrine We had refused to
Europe and had therefore accepted for
ourselves the duty of protecting the Ameri-
can republics. There was never any hint
OF refusing to arbitrate disputed questions.
II was always a declaration meant to warn

SENATORIAL AUTHORITY ~ ARBI-
TRATION.

Direct contradiction appears between
the views Of the President and of the
majority of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations concerning the au-
tEority which would be reserved TO the
Senate i'm matters of arbitration under
the pending treaties. The President re-
CARDS with very little sympathy OF
acquiescence" the complaint that the
treaties would require the Senate tc
abdicate some Of its functions in ac-
cepting the decision of Il tribunal one
half Of whose members were American
citizens appointed by the President
with the consent Of the Senate" The
Aembers of the committee, Oh the other
hand think that by the last clause of
Article III "the constitutional powers
of the Senate are taken away pro
"faHtO and are transferred TO a com
mission upon the composition Of which
1.-The Senate has no control whatever,
since the Joint High Commission which
is to determine the arbitrability Of a case
may be composed wholly of foreigners.
The divergence of opinion turns. OBJ
viously, uDOn the constitution Of the
Joint High Commission. Some slap
dash writer's have spoken of it as being
appointed by the tribunal at The Hague,
but there is not a shadow Of ground for
that assumption. and we cannot suppose
that any member Of the Senate has fall
en- into the blunder. But we must con-
II. 20
what portion OF the text of the treaties
the report Of the Senators is based, I'm
less upon one solitary phrase divorced
from its legitimate and essential con-
text and subjected 20 strained and
unnatural Interpretation. We refer to
the closing words Of the second clause
OF Article II: The commission may
BE otherwise constituted in any par
"ticular case by the terms Of reference,
THE membership of the commission and
"the terms Of reference TO be determined
lin each case by an exchange Of notes"
standing alone, that might mean that
the Executive might appoint any com
mission that he pleased, in correspond
eace with the foreign power, regard
less Of the Senate. But though possible,
that would be grossly improbable even
upder such circumstances, while when
taken in sequence with the rest of the
treat ties that Interpretation seems 50 I'M
natural as 10 be little short Of fantastic.
Article ! provides explicitly that for
each case of arbitration there shall be
a special agreement, which shall be
made on the part Of the United States
.by the President Of the United States
"by and tcith the ddUice and consent ot
"ihe Senate thereof" Thus at the very
beginning Of the process no dispute can
be considered for arbitration, no Joint
High Commission can be constituted.
and of course, the arbitrability Of no
case can be submitted to such com
mission without the consent of the Sen
ate. We may concede. however, that
