Might Veto Su1zer Resolution.
1t appears that the Suzer resolution.
expressive Of sympathy and encourage
ment for the revolutionists in China, will
not have smooth sailing, even should 1t
succeed in passing both houses OF Con-
gress. The attention of the executive
branch has been directed to the fact that
the resolution is likely to come into dis
astrous collision with the United States
statutes at large.
In 1850 acts were passed creating con-
sular conrts and comforting upon them
extra-territorial jurisdiction in SEMI ar
barous countries. Section 41O2 prescribes
the death penalty for any American who
lends aid or encouragement 10 a revolu-
ton directed against the government Of
any of the countries where this extra
territorial jurisdiction exists. Hence, II
is declared. any American in China who
should undertake to live up to the spirit
Of such a resolution as that now pending
in the House could be hailed before the
nearest consular court in China and. IL
convicted of sympathizing with the rebel
lion, would have to receive the death
penalty. That fact makes IL doubtful
whether President Taft would approve
such a resolution IL it reached him.
