Up to the recent months, at leas''
we have never had foreign policy

as traditional isolation has served
as a mahcshift. But new develop

US the need of a policy. We have

amends it into a totally different
shape, but. stiil leaves it compfe-
hensible policy. But then the deao-
lock prevents the adoption Of elthe'''

Unity in command in foreign re'a-

Discredited in Advance

What results, then, Is an obvious
discrediting Of American negotia-
tors in advance Of their arrival at
any peace conference, any world as
semblage. They can pledge noth-
ing, promise nothing, for their coun-
try. They do not, or at least they
need not, have any relation whatever
with the Senate which will decide
the fate of the treaty. Their voices
are thus destitute of authority. Is
it not plain that such a situation
carries with it patent disadvantages
and even potential dangers?
A system of checks and balances
may be essential to preserve liberty
in domestic affairs, but it carries
with it the certain possibility of an
archy in foreign affairs. If it be re-
garded as unwise to permit the
President to go abroad and under
take engagements on behalf of his
country, subject to no legislative re-
stralnt, ought not the Legislative
branch then to be permitted to name
at least majority of the members
OF any international delegation, to
name them from it's own ranks and
thus to remain in immediate rela-
ton with the treaty-makers?
The alternative is to give the
President absolute power, but in the
present temper Of the nation it is
plain such revision of the Con
stitution is unthinkable.

Example IL, England

To take concrete example: At a
certain moment in the Paris con-
ference an influential faction in the
House of Commons felt that the
course Lloyd George was pursuing
in certain questions jeopardized
Anglo French relations and i'm
periled British interests. AS a con-
sequence a "round robin" sort of
document was framed In the House
and duly transmitted to Paris, and
Lloyd George, instantly sensitive to
the peril, promptly modified his pol
icy to suit the circumstances. The
legislative branch was thus able to
make it's will felt before treaty had
been framed, not after, and thus to
defend national interests without
paralyzing the whole machinery of
the peace settlement
Over against this must be set the
warning conveyed by the Senate in
another "round robin," drafted in
March, as l recall, after the Presi-
dents brief visit to the United States,
and setting forth the fact that the
treaty in the shape in which it then
was-a shape which was in part re-
tained-would not be accepted by
the Senate. Such warning the
President could and did disregard,
because he was satisfied of the recti-
tude of his course and confident that
if he appealed to the country popu-
lar sentiment would compel the SEN
ate to accept any treaty which he
had signed.
We have, then, on this side Of the
water machinery for negotiating
peace settlements which can lead
directly to complete paralysis. The
events of the last year have disclosed
the fact that the President Of the
United States can lawfully go to a
peace conference and there, in the
name of the United States, negotiate
a treaty, unhampered in any way by
interference from the legislative
branch. But similarly, when this
treaty has been signed in the name
Of the country, the legislative branch
can reject it.

Had Immediate Power

Ultimate power in the matter of
the treaty lay with the Senate, but
immediate power, command of the
army and the navy, control Of re-
lief resources, lay with the Presi-
dent. For France, Great Britain
or Italy to refuse to follow the
Presidents wishes, to refuse to con-
form to his demands, so far as he
declined to modify them, was to run
obvious risks, which Italy, to be sure,

Break-do,un Revealed

If one eliminate all partisan con-
siderations; if one put aside all cir
cumstances which arise from the
treatment by the President Of the
Senate, both in the composition Of
his delegation to the Peace Confer
ence and his subsequent course since
he returned from Paris; If one dis
count all maneuvcring which is the
consequence Of the approach Of a
national campaign, there remains q
solid fact, the most significant fact
in the whole controversy, looking at
i. with any historical perspective;
that our machinery of government
has broken down, has been disclosed
as inadequate in the presence of q
great international crisis.
The theory of the makers of the
Constitution, who sought, by i'm
posing system of checks and bal
ances, to maintain an equilibrium be-
tween the two branches of govern
ment, however we'll it has worked
for century and a quarter in do
mestic affairs, has led us straight to
one of the most humiliating and dan
gerous situations in foreign relations
which can be imagined.
What has actually happened has
been that the President, using pow
ers unquestionably within his grasp
and right, since no one has been able
to cite a single legal objection to
his course, went to Europe. In
conference with the representatives
Of other great nations he has nego-
tiated a treaty Of peace, speaking
always in the name of the country
Of which he was the Chief Executive
and for which he possessed the right
TO negotiate treaties; and the treaty,
having been duly signed, has been at
least temporarily rejected by his own
country.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28
that the legislative branch contem-

that the legislative branch contem-
plated doing just this.
But the truth Is that In order to
take effective notice Of this the Eu-
ropean representatives would have
been forced to join battle with the
President Of the United States, who
held, and would for two years con-
tinue to hold, control Of all govern
ment departments, whose voice
would settle the continuation or
abandonment Of such aid as Europe
was receiving and needed.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28

gard Of the President. He could
stop money, recall men, divert sup
plies. The Senate could only. re-
ject a treaty, and, important as the
treaty ultimately was, the other
things were Of far greater value at
the moment.
All of which is another way of
saying that the strange situation in
our government with respect to
treaty-making compelled Europe to
take sides, to negotiate with one Of
two equally influential elements, one
actually hostile and each possessing
the power to negative the treaty,
but only one able to act positively
so far as negotiations were con-
cerned. Europe did this, not with
out reluctance in some quarters, at
least, and the result has been a
deadlock and postponement of
real peace for more than six months.

World Injury Done

This rejection has been accom-
plished in the United States Senate,
where the majority Of the Senators
in rejecting it acted within their
rights and in accordance with
their constitutional duties. We have,
then, reached & complete deadlock,
and for several months the restora-
ton Of peace In the world has been
postponed, to the very great injury
Of all the world, because Of this
deadlock.
AS the consequences of the dead
lock have been more and more clear
ly perceived and felt, the President
and the Senate have been collectively
denounced in many quarters, while
In others the whole burden of blame
has beer placed upon the President
or upon the majority Of the Senate,
% this disposition of responsibility
suited the various critics. Yet little
or no blame has been placed upon
the Constitution Of the United States
itself, which provides no machinery
2or emerging from this situation, no
means Of breaking what amounts to
q tie.

European nations is obvious. When

~ ARELY in our history has
the interposition Of partisan
- political considerations done
more immediate and perma-
nent harm than in the case of the
present debate over the ratification
Of the Treaty of Versailles in the
Senate. In saying this l do not
mean to assert, as I do not believe,
that either the President and his fell
low Democrats in the Senate or the
Republican majority have been main
ly actuated by political considera-
tions. The slightest examination of
the situation as it exists at the ma
tional capital reveals the fact that
the divergence goes far deeper.
It Is true that two parties are
Represented in the division in the
Senate, but 1t is not less true that
neither party has preserved a solid
front and that, on the whole, the de-
fections from the Democratic side
have been more considerable than
from the Republican, so much so
that ona Ia mora nearly accurate in
describing the contest as one between
the President and the Senate, be-
tween the Executive and the legisla-
tive branches of government, than
as a quarrel between parties or per-
sonalities.

majority in the dominant legisla-

Facts Notorious Noru

So far France paid in advance. She
had to make a physical surrender Of
policy, Of title, to acquire what she
regarded as an American pledge tc
pay in the future. She got the
Presidents pledge, but she lacks the
counter signature Of the Senate, and
the document she has in return for
her resignation of title is valueless
But her resignation of title is writ
ten into the Treaty of Versailles
Now, in what spirit will the French
be forced to negotiate with the next
American delegation come to their
shores or met elsewhere?
The fact is obvious. The next
time we send a delegation, a COM
mission to negotiate treaty,
whether to Europe or to Asia, it will
be notorious fact that the commits
sion, even if headed by the Presi-
dent, can give no promise of ratiti-
cation OF the treaty by It's govern
ment. France, Britain, Italy, can
give such guaranty, because the
negotiators act as the direct agents
of a majority in the dominant legis-
lative branch, but similar Ameri-
can guaranty must be lacking.
If in this next conference, as in
the last, American representatives
urge upon those of other nations
agreement to certain notifications
of national will which, however use.
full to the cause of world amity, can
be made only in return for certain
guarantees coming from the other
, side, any chance Of obtaining such
concession must disappear, because
the American representative are
without power to make any effective
pledge.

cation sent from America to Eu-
rope have, or the next delegation
sent to negotiate any treaty or
agreement? 1t must come from the
President; his power to negotiate
treaties is unquestioned. 1t may
we'll set sail when the Senate is con-
trolled by an opposing political
party, or it may in conformity with
the views Of the President subscribe
to agreements which are repugnant
to the whole Senate or a ajority
thereof, without regard to party. In
such case what will become Of the
treaty, the agreement? VIII not
Europe, once burned, shrink back
from new danger?
It is fact that the French,
through Clemenceau, actually con-
sented to certain notifications of
French policy in the matter of the
Treaty of Versailles because Presi-
dent Wilson declared that such mod
ifications were necessary to obtain
an American guaranty Of French
security for the future. Specifically,
Clemenceau, against the advice of
Foch, against the wish of many
Frenchmen, resigned the Rhine as a
military barrier because President
Wilson offered in exchange guaran-
ties Of French security found within
and without the league of nations
covenant.

BORN OF WAR

1t is difficult yet to value accurately
or in some instances to perceive all
the war has brought to our national
life or pruned from it. The things
we think little now may appear to
posterity the greatest. The Thrift
Stamp idea seems to be one of these.
Originated as war emergency meas
ure, it has taken hold; has appealed
to the common sense of America, and
may yet shape the destiny of the
nation.
1t is patent, now that the war is
over, that the Thrift Stamp has come
to stay. If we get nothing else out of
the war but the habit of saving, which
begets the corollary simple. living, we
will have reaped the full fruit of the
war. For thrifty democracy is q
firm democracy, potent democracy,
a democracy strong enough to pre-
serve itself.
A man who saves is better citizen
than the man who does not save. He
becomes a stakeholder in his govern
ment and he is jealous for the wei.
fare OF that government in war and
in peace. In war he will fight for it
with his life. In peace he will protect
it from those who would tear down.
AS America saves from this day on
SO shall she grow in benign power and
In the eyes of mankind. "A bank &C
count for every American citizen"
should be one of our national slogans.
The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
Idea is freighted with mighty change
for the better in our national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government Without
doubt it is the greatest investment
ever offered and it is in such a form
that every American, big and little,
can take advantage O it.
