The league o nations already has
opportunity to "come back, if the
president is willing. One party says
that it might have been adopted if the
president had been willing to accept
the reservations which the senate at
tached to the document. The other
party says it might have been~adopted
if the senate had been willing to ac-
cept it without change or reservation
in just the the shape it came to
them from the president. Our con-
stitution authorizes the president to
make treaties 3'by and with the con-
sent of the senate @sAdvice'' is of no
value unless it is given and accepted
before action, and Consent is prac-
tically worthless if it be refused after
action 1t seems that the president
made no effort to secure the advice
ard so far he has been unable to Sc
cure the necessary two-thirds consent
The senate is divided into four groups
| concerning adoption, regardless of
their political affiliations and the lead
seem to be divided in just about the
same way; adoption without change
or addition; adoption with amend
| ments; adoption with sturdy A1neri-
can reservations; adoption with milo
| reservations
