"Rescinding" Ratification

Governor Smith has advised the
Legislature to rescind New York's
ratification Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. But that is thing which,
manifestly, the Legislature cannot do
Of it's own motion, even if it wanted
to follow the Governors advice.
AS one Of the resembling" resolu-
tions introduced at Albany on
Wednesday clearly recognized, the
assent of the Federal government is
a prerequisite to successful recon-
sideration. No amendment to the
Constitution is pending in the Legis-
lature. The states ratification has
been conveyed to the State Depart
ment in due legal form. There is
nothing, in a parliamentary sense, to
act on. Either the Legislature must
request the return Of the papers or
it must pass resolution which may
be disregarded as a mere expression
Of opinion as to the soundness Of a
previous Legislatures action.
The present body is not the same
as that which ratified the amend
ment, for new Assembly has been
chosen in the interval. Can the Fed
eral government be expected to re-
turn ratification resolution for re-
consideration by a different body
from the one which adopted it? That
course has not been pursued in the
past. The New York Legislature of
1870 attempted to withdraw the con-
sent to the Fifteenth Amendment
given by the Legislature Of 1869.
No attention was paid in Washing
ton to that action.
The reconsideration question had
been raised and settled in 1868, at
the time of the ratification of the
Fourteenth Amendment. New Jer-
sey had approved the amendment on
September II, 1866. A new Legis-
lature passed a resolution in April,
1868, withdrawing approval. Ohio
had ratified on January II, 1867, and
in January, 1868, it's Legislature
tried to reverse that action. Secre-
tary Seward, on July 20, 1868, issued
proclamation announcing the adop-
tion Of the Fourteenth Amendment,
in case the original ratifying resolu-
tions of New Jersey and Ohio were
to be considered as of full force and
effect. Thereupon Congress took a
hand In the matter and passed, on
July 21, concurrent resolution de-
claring that the amendment had
been adopted, and naming New Jer-
sey and Ohio among the ratifying
states.
Since Congress has exclusive power
to submit amendments, it's authority
as final canvassing board can
hardly be questioned.
New York, Of course, is not a So
called referendum te"-meaning
one in which the Legislature shares
full legislative power with the peo-
pie. In such states questions of
Jurisdiction will probably be raised
which the Supreme Court will finallv
have to pass upon. But no such
issue Is possible here. A resembling
resolution passed by the present Leg
lslature would probably get no
further than did the resembling res
olution of 1870.

Still for No Compromise

W AVAA HAuCiA tIidC tIle3 HT0S1QonC saws
In his letter to the jackson Day
banqueters The Tribune finds itself
in hearty agreement. 1t also has
taken pride in the spiritual leader
ship which was enjoyed by this
country in consequence of the events
OF the war. It also wished this
spiritual capital to be invested to
make the world more peaceful and
better. 1t also mournfully regrets
that this noble opportunity to do
great good has been, to some degree,
frittered away and partly lost.
But while there is agreement with
the President in these things there
must be emphatic dissent from other
things implied in his letter. He as
sumes that the great falling away
dates from the failure of the Senate
to ratify the covenant without reser-
vations or effective explanations.
The date should be carried further
back-to the time when in fact, if not
by design, the President embarked
on course which developed distrust
rather than confidence among the
Allies.
Moral union among the Allies is
the basis Of any effective league of
peace. From the day he landed in
Europe the President baked at
this. He refused to identify this
country as an ally. Associate" was
the warmest word he would employ.
He would have no perpetuation of
the Grand Alliance. He implied that
in some way it was wicked to advo-
cate this. He was not satisfied
merely to urge, which was his right,
the peace without justice which he
called peace without victory" but
he drew in question the righteous
ness of others who entertained diff
ferent views.
Having soured European conf
dence in us, the President returned
to this country and demanded spe-
cies of ratification which if accorded
meant that the Senate abdicated it's
constitutional right to participate in
treaty making. He construed his
prerogative to initiate and conduct
negotiations as giving him exclusive
power over foreign relations. He
resisted, and still resists, every eff
fort to communicate to the world the
fact that our Constitution does not
recognize one man-ism. Ratification
on these terms was, Of course, i'm
possible. If the President did not
know 1t, he should have known it.
By persisting in error he became the
chief opponent of ratiication-is to-
day, as former supporters admit,
''the sole obstacle to ratification"
The President, continuing his pol
Iicy Of no compromise or concession
Of any kind, in effect asks for ratifi-
cation to be postponed until after
next November. He has nothing
more profitable to suggest than a
referendum in an election whose re-
suit will depend on domestic issues
which demand attention. Here is the
blind alley which he asks the coun-
try to enter.
The President being deaf to COM
promise appeals and preferring no
ratification not precisely as he die
tates, the outcome depends on the at
titude of the Democratic Senators.
Will they follow their own honest
judgments or will they still obey the
White House?

children swim instinctively If thrown
into the water, but haven't been able
to test this out yet, because our bath
tub isn't large enough even for H. Sd.
Curiously enough, Hudson relates
one incident which might we'll be cited
in support Of the theory that the child
is equipped at birth with certain pro-
tective instincts, but he passes it over
with different explanation. He saws
that on certain afternoon his baby
sister, who could scarcely walk, was
left alone in a room, and suddenly
came toddling to the door shrieking
"ku-ku," an Argentine word for dan
ger, which was almost her single ar
ticulate possession. Her parents
rushed into the room and found a huge
snake coiled up in the middle Of the
rug. The child had never seen a
snake before, and there was much
dangerous.
1T was conjectured," writes Hudson,
that she had made some gesture to
push 1t away when 1t came onto the
rug, and that it had reared its head
and struck viciously at her"
1t seems to us that q much more
plausible explanation lies in the theory
that this child who had never seen
snake profted from some old racial
memory of the danger Of serpents.
Unfortunately, under modern condi-
tions some restrictions must be put
on the liberty Of small children. I
have been told that a child knows in
stinctively that he must not put his
hand into fire, but he has no age
grounded instinct not to touch a radia-
tor. Still, it might be fair to saw tha,
