FOR WORLD TRIBUNAL
TO SETTLE DISPUTES
Separate Resolution Would Empower
President to Negotiate In
ternational Treaties.

\ resolution declaring it to be the
sense Of the Senate that the President
at the close of the European war should
endeavor to negotiate treaty with
the powers of the world to constitute
an international judicial tribunal to
settle disputes, introduced today by
Senator Shafroth, was referred to the
foreign relations committee without
debate.
The proposed tribunal would be pro-
portionately supported by the naval,
military and financial aid of the SUBJ
scribing nations sufficiently to enforce
its DEGREES and the treaty for its Gre
alton would recognize the territorial
integrity of all subscribers at the time
of ratification. All disputes threaten
ing war between signatory powers
would be submitted to the tribunal,
which would be composed OF an equal
number from each interested country
and at least one chosen by mutual
agreement or by lot. It's decision
would be promulgated as a decree and
be binding.
The resolution further suggests that
the treaty propose reduction of the
military and naval forces of all sub
scribing nations to limit agreed upon,
but sufficient in each case for a nation
to enforce its domestic laws.

CONGRESSMAN ARE KEPT
IN DARK AS TO CRISIS
President Wilson Fails to Consult
With Senators and Rep
resentatives.

Comment has been caused a the Capt.
toll by the fact that President Wilson

fairs, nor has he consulted with them.
According to press reports, he has con-
ferred only with Secretary Of State

who came to Washington on hurry
call, arriving yesterday morning.
1t was said at the Capitol today that
senators and representatives who had
tried to elicit from the State Depart
nent information as to the present ac-
knowiedged crisis have failed to re-
ceive any Information Of an illuminat-
ing nature. Senators and representa-
tfves commenting upon the hiatus in
communication between the executive
and legislative branches sontrasted the
present situation with that which ex-
listed prior to the war with Spain.
At that time, it is recalled, President
Mckinley not only took frequent council
Of leaders Of his own party in the House
and Senate. but also invited the views OF
members Of the minority party and
sought their judgment and advice.
While in the present case 1t Is realized
that the President might feel that he need
not consult the Legislative branch upon
sucn q question as nanulnB inc repre-
sentative Of a foreign government his
passport. still. the consequences of such
an act would necessarily involve
legislative action. At any rate,
senators and representatives feel
that they would like to be apprised of
what is going on at the other end of
Pennsylvania avenue.
It was suggested that with the re-
turn of Senator Stone the President
may summon the republican and demo-
cratic membership of the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations and the
House committee on foreign affairs anu
lay the details of the situation before
them.
