The Making Of Treaties

Some observers of current events are beginning to
wonder whether the government of the United States,
present constituted is able to function IN respect
to its dealing with the governments Of other nations.
According to the constitution the executive is the
treaty making branch of the government, but when the
treaty is negotiated the ratification of the senate is
required and experience that the senate does
not ratify
The supposition of the constitution makers undoubt-
cd that the senator's would be actuaed by the high
est regard for the national interests and that they would
not refuse ratification from any unworthy motive Re-
cent developments in Washington indicate that some
senators have very small regard for the national inter-
ests and that they actuaed by narrow partisanshp,
petty preiudccs contemplate eaousies love OF notorl-
ETY. other bascr motives.
Possibly however the strength of this personal and
factonal opposition has been ovcrestimated 1t Is not
bad thing that there shall be full opportunity for dis
and that the opponents of the treaty shall say
ell that can be said that side tho they make
poor spectacle of themselves in the saying,
Not until the final vote is taken will there be suff

doubted power Some of the state governments,
indeed have undertaken to do what the national gov
eminent must be prepared to do if necessary.
1t is not to be presumed, however, that if the fed
government undertakes to operate the coal mines
as an emergency that this will be step toward
permanent national ownership and operation; neither
will it be step toward the destruction of the unions
The national government will act for the public inter
ests. and will be concerned for against the
operators, for against the miners Its duty will
be that coal is supplied for the vital needs of the
nation and that peace is maintained and the lawful rights
of person and of property are respected.
The serious this strike is, the more likely the
nation will be to discover way to avoid strikes.
