One cannot help wondering as to what may be the actual state of our foreign relations that President Wilson is afraid to call d special session of the august body may seek to enter into the details of our relations with for eign powers. Is it that the state ot our foreign relations are in such pos ture that they will not bear the sena- torial searchlight or is it simply dis play of that inclination to run matters to suit his own taste so frequently dis closed during the first years of his in cumbency? It is plain that there must for the presidents action in view of the fact that the revision of the senate rules. for which purpose the special session was to be called, was matter very dear to the presidential heart and one which he would not be likely to forego save through an unusual neces- sity The question naturally arises what must be the state of our foreign relations that the executive voluntarily lays aside a long debated and much desired project in order to conceal what should be as open an unconcealed as any other matter directly affecting the welfare of the nation.
 It would verify seem that the presi- dent has been, in a way. forced to choose between two evils in order to cover up what is going on in dealing with foreign powers and one cannot help the thought that matters mus be in a rather strained condition that they must be withheld as long as pos- sible from the discussion of the sov- ereign power of the nation. Can the mere discussion of international ques- tions by the senate be of such vital moment that our outside interests would be imperiled thereby? If so one wonders why.
