DRAWS ANALOGY

AN analogous case is the power
OF congress to appropriate money.
! There is no other power in our gov
eminent to do that; but, IL the Unit
ed States makes a treaty agreeing to
pay million dollars to another
country would any one say that the
| obligation could be cancelled by a
refusal of congress to appropriate
the money. Certainly not; the only
effect would be that the United States
would have broken faith. The real
I question is whether we shall enter
I into guarantee under which the
faith of treaties will require congress
to pass a resolution declaring war
That is what the president proposed.
That is what your telegram makes it
clear you propose.
"On the same day when you sent
the telegram, according to the press
reports, in q meeting at. Providence,
some one in the audience asked you,

vations to the league OF nations?

these reservations was one which

clare war or to authorize the employ

THAT reservation would leave con-
gress free whenever the time came to

1t, would leave congress bound by
the solemn pledge OF faith OF our
country TO pass the resolution OF
war, no matter what the merits OF
the controversy might be.
