STATE SOVEREIGNTY

the political situation in Mexico" was
decidedly anti-bellum and Sec'y Lam
sing was bluntly informed that the
United States has no right TO inter-
fere"
That was quite true, but not precise
ly to the point. The federal govern
.nent had not demanded a reprieve.
but asked it as a favor in order to
facilitate certain delicate diplomatic
negotiations. Regardless of the merits
OF this particular case, the fact that
Arizona officials could with in.punity
flout the United States government is
something in which few citizens out
side the locality directly interested
will take any pride or satisfaction.
IL is the same trouble that was ex-
perienced in California over the Jap
anese land legislation. 1t is the same
trouble that occurred in Louisiana a
few years ago when the Italian gov
eminent, angered by the failure at
Washington TO obtain satisfaction for
the killing of Italian subjects. broke
off diplomatic relations with this coun-
try.
our federal government is supreme
in theory. IL has a monopoly of the
power to make foreign treaties. but
apparently lacks power to enforce
them when they clash with state
rights. The awkward situation is a
heritage of the mutual jealousy of the
thirteen original states.
The Civil war was thought to have
disposed Of the old state rights doc
trine. and yet today states can, and
do, assume the prerogatives of SOW
ereign governments in crises that en-
danger the welfare of the nation.
Though powerless to make treaties,
they may break them. Though un-
able TO declare war they may by their
Independent action. bring on war.
1t is an unpleasant and dangerous
situation for a nation which prides it
self on keeping its word, and which
has lately had much TO say in con-
demnation Of treaty breakers.

Americans should demand that a
permanent tariff commission be estab-
