PRESIDENT WILSON ASKS CONGRESS FOR A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE"

I'm HIS rather extraordinary demand made upon con-
gress that it shall Immediately declare its views
- regarding the rights Of American passengers on
armed ~beligerent ships, the president has brought to
a head a question of vital interest to this republic
and all its citizens. The question is, how far a presi-
dent NAV 20 in his negotiations with foreign nations, in
the direction of war, or Of possible war, without being
under a moral, if not a legal, obligation to consult
congress and adjust his acts to the will of congress.
There is a general notion current that the president
has unlimited powers in dealing with foreign nations,
independently Of congress. It is difficult to say whence
this notion came. The constitution gives the president the
power to make treaties, to appoint and receive ambassa-
doris and ministers. By long usage it has been under
stood that he, and the state department which is a
part Of the executive power, might carry on the most
intricate and extended international negotiations with
out definite responsibility to congress, beyond the con-
stitutional requirement that the senate must ratfy
treaties and diplomatic appointments. But there is
nothing in the constitution to prevent congress from
taking action that may upset and render void many of
the acts Of the executive in relations with foreign
powers.
Expediency has made it the custom in the past to
leave the president free to deal with foreign nations; it
has seemed to the men who have built up our system
Of government, that in this way the public interests
would best be conserved, by tending toward consistency
in foreign policy, and avoiding the ADVERTISEMENTS sure
TO result from too frequent and open debates on the
floor Of congress.
But in this, the American system is less democratic
than the British system, under which the ministers
of the crown are directly responsible to parliament
and to the country. In the British parliament, min
listers are directly questioned upon foreign policies,

and while it is well recognized that a responsible
ministry must keep many things secret in the public
interest, nevertheless in case of a definite break be
tween the legislative branch and the executive branch,
the executive gives way, and a general election, or at
least the formation of a new ministry, ensues. A vote
of mo confidence" in the British parliament means
the downfall of the d~iscredited ministry.
American presidents finding themselves in the situa-
tion now worrying president Wilson have ordinarily
conducted their conversations in private with senators
and congressional leaders, seeking to bring the leglsla-
tive branch to the white house point of view. President
Wilson takes a more direct, if unusual course, by
writing to the ranking member of the committee on
rules, asking for a vote on the pending resolutions.
Congress is jealous of its prerogatives; the resolutions
are in the foreign affairs committee, where they have
been pigeonholed in the belief that this course would
please the president. Not so-he wants a vote right
away. 1t will be interesting to note how congress
receives the presidents request.
There is no question that the uncertain situation
IN congress is embarrassing the president in dealing
with Germany. There is no doubt about the abstract
justice of the presidents request for definite action.
But neither is there any doubt about the right of the
congress to declare by resolution its views upon foreign
affairs. A vote against the presidents views would
be a powerful warning to him, and a foreign power,
in the matter, is justified in taking cognizance
of 1t, even as superior to the presidents written mes
sages through the secretary of state, for the reason
that the president has no independent power to declare
war, which is the final resort of diplomacy.
In this instance, congress will stand BY the president,
the situation will be clarified, for the time being.
But the incident, a really serious test of political
power and responsibility, ought to warn the president
that there are limits beyond which he must not go
