OVEREIGNTY

washington Post-Sovereignty is
divisible. 1t cannot be shared or lent.
III the United States yields any of
its sovereignty, it s%urrenders its free
will and is no longer master of its
actions. The statement is made. in
attempting to remove this objection.
that the United States has made MANY
treaties which committed it to make
war under certain contingencies.
There is an essential difference. how
Fever. between the pending peace
treaty with its league covenant and
ordinary treaties. The pending cove
nant, If adopted, would create a new
authority to act in the place of the
United States itself in determining
what the United States should do. in
all of its foreign relations, in all parts
of the world, at all times. The cove
nant attempts to transfer the sover-
eign will of the United States from
the people and their government to
a council and assembly OF nations.
No other treaty has ever attempted
to do this, and no treaty ever made
by the United States has encroached
upon sovereignty of the United States.
1t could not do so, for the treaty-mak-
ing power has no capacity to make
such a treaty. The president and the
senate have 40 power to delegate to
9 council or assembly the conduct of
the foreign relations of this govern
ment. The president and the senate
have their respective spheres of au-
thority, beyond which they cannot
pass. Combined they possess a sphere
of authority called the treaty-making
power, but this sphere is clearly de-
fined. 1t is an absurdity to hold that
a treaty can be made which would
abolish the sovereignty of the United
States or transfer this sovereignty to
league of nations.

their lives at the hands Of bandits

IL was not thus in 1904 when Rel,

~Perdicaris, American citizen, for ran
som. President Roosevelt SEM Ameri-

sage for the Sultan Of Morocco:
"Perdicaris alive, or Raisuli dead"
And the Sultan produced Perdicar.s
alive with considerable promptness,
though he had to give Raisuli sixty
thousand dollars and make him gov,
ernor OF several provinces.
Probably Carranza would not have
been able to act quickly enough to
save the lives OF L~ieutenants Peter
son and Davis. Indeed, his power over
the bandits of the border is slight.
But he and his government should be
held responsible just the same, not
merely for the ransom money, but for
the wiping out Of banditry within the
territory they claim to rule.
The difficulty with this capture and
ransom business is that it grows by
what it feeds upon. A successful
stroke like this one encourages every
