what Congress Can DO.

1T is perfectly true that Congress can
make treaties which derogate from our
national sovereignty. can bind us to do
things and not to do things. as to which
as sovereign We lay prior TO the treaty
under no obligation. 1t is also true that
the line between what the treaty making
power may do and what It may not do
is in many places indlstinctly traced. 1t
passes through regions of twilight, which
1t has not thus far been necessary to
explore. But there are certain definite
things which We all concede that the
treaty making power may do and there
are certain other things which 1 take II
we will all agree the treaty making
power may not do. For example. as
sumo that no one will be bold enough to
say that the Executive and the Senate
could by treaty provide that King
George of England should be President
OF the United States; or that the House
of Lords should stand in lieu OF and
perform the functions of the Senate OF
the United States; or that the House Of
commons should take the place of the

states with authority to lay and collect

the Senate as possessing real functions
OF deliberatIon over the terms of a
treaty, but have also regarded II as
proper. desirable and consistent with
the mutual rights involved, to consult
the Senate even before negotiations have
been undertaken. Such was the course
followed by Washington in 1890 before
negotiating treaties with the Creek
Indians and with the Cherokee
Indians, and as TO the boundary treaty
with Great Britain. and a treaty with
Algiers in 1892 for ransoming American
captives. In 1918, President Monroe
asked whether the Senate thought he
could make an agreement regarding
armament on the Great Lakes and In
case they thought he could not, he asked
them to advise and consent to an agree
ment, and they so consented.
In 1880 jackson inquired whether he
should sign a proposed treaty with the
Indians and the Senate advised him not
10 make or to ratify the treaty. Jack
son again approached the Senate in
1881 as to protesting against an arbi-

pute with Great Britain, and the Senate
advised the President to communicate

declined to adopt the boundary awarded.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
Piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton Of staple necessities, but that it
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease in the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean tom
mage will be lightened, European ma
tions will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country

ropean ration is to be materially in

1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
r
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration Of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
tion to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops Of Louisiana cane and
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
tember and October 995 900 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that in
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
tion has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons Of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,000
tons were distributed In September
the figures showed 279000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October

proof that the American people have

MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Now Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan of con-
servation formulated by the .. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signifi-
canoe, as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers Of
the country.
According to reports of the U. s.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle of 1928, 900 head
and II, AL 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January last. In the same
period there was decrease of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than eight per cent and not
more than fifteen per cent compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
| production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,600,000000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
! by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1877, $4,000 pounds,
an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds
| for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1893, 100000 pounds as
against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
/, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope'must look to supply its defcien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.
