decree of the Congress and make
treaty concerning the navy which over
rides the provision of the Congress for
the maintenance Of the navy at certain
strength.
1 No treaty can override our Constitu-
tion.
Neither has the President any Con-
common defense. That power belongs
to the Congress alone. And the sole
possession of that power by the Con-
gress Is prima-facie evidence that the
Congress has the sole power to decrease
or to increase the common defense.
The President has no power at all to
negotiate a treaty which increases or
decreases or limits or agrees to limit the
defenses of the United States; anu all
that part Of the treaty which pretends
to agree for the United States that It
will abandon any Notifications or naval
bases, or agree not to fortify its ocean
outposts, is null and void, and without
any authority to bind this or any sue
cseding Congress.
The President has no power to define
offenses against the law of nations, be-
cause the Constitution gives that power
to the Congress, and to the Congress
alone.
Hence, all those parts of the treaty
negotiated by Hughes and Root which
attempt to Sefine the use of submarines
or of any other weapon or device or
mode of attack as unlawful under the
law Of nations are null and void in them
selves, and have, and can have, no bind
ing effect upon this Congress or any
succeeding Congress.
This treaty and all the methods pur-
sued in negotiating 1t are dangerous
usurpations of authority by the Execu-
tive and the delegates representing the
President
These usurpations did not begin with
Mr.. Harding or Mr.. Hughes. They
have been slowly growing in audacity
and increasing in number.
Custom makes such usurpation at
first familiar and then expected.
We doubt that it ever occurred to
President Harding that his delegates in
his name were usurping the sole Consti-
tutional powers of the Congress and
were attempting TO do by treaty with
foreign powers what the Congress of the
United States alone has any Constitu-
tional right to do.
These are not academic objections.
They are vital objections II the man.

have no longer q t1ipartite, constitu-
tional, representative Government, but
Government by the President and his
Cabinet officers or personal represen-
tatives.
WE MIGHT AS WELL ADOPT THE
FASHION OF THESE NEWLY Be
LOVED ALLIES AND STYLE THE
OCCUPANTS OF THE WHITE
HOUSE EMPERORS-BECAUSE THAT
is WHAT THEY WILL SURELY BE-
COME IF THIS CONTEMPT FOR OUR
CATION OF THE CONGRESS TO A
CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
The only rightful authority the Presi-
dent has in treaty making is to negotiate
their form, Iby and with the advice and
Mark the word advice" The men
who made the Constitution deliberated
over every word for more than two
years. They meant that word "advice"
exactly as they wrote II and ratified 1t.
How much advice did the Senate give
Hughes and Root as these two secretly
negotiated with Balfour and Kato?
How much "advice" was the Senate
asked to give?
What Senator was permitted even to
know what went on in these secret
meetings, where not even a record was
kept or a stenographer permitted, for
fear information might leak out to the
Senate and the people7
A deplorable feature Of this constant
usurpation and this constantly growing
disregard of the plain words and uean-
ing of the Constitution Is the bold claim,
put forth frequently in the press and
from the White House, and even from
the Senate chamber, that the President
rightfully has the power to make
treaties without the advice of the SEN
ate, without consulting the Senate; and
that his sole duty is to ask the consent"
of the Senate to treaties which have
been made in guarded secrecy, and
without any knowledge at all on the
part of the Senate or the people as to
the methods employed or the induce
mepts used in those secret gatherings.
This is the worst of all the bad prac-
tees of that European diplomacy which
a free people naturally abhors-the very
practice which brought on the great war
that has just set the clock of civilization
back for at least half century.
The makers of our Great Charter of
Free Government never intended that
this practice should prevail in our coun-
try.
There Is no warrant at all for this
practice in our Constitution.

If for no other reason than this
though, assuredly, there are other
weighty reasons treaty should have
been rejected by the Senate On the suf-
ficient ground that it was negotiated
in secret, without the advice of the
Senate being sought and with every pre-
caution that the Senate should not have
any opportunity to intrude it's advice
upon the secret gatherings Of Messrs.
Hughes, Root, Balfour and Kato.
The time to assert the Constitutional
authority of any one branch of our tri-
partite Government is every time that
one branch attempts to nullify or to
usurp the authority and the duties of
any other branch.
The price of liberty and free Govern
ment is eternal vigilance and eternal
jealousy, and. prompt and courageous
resistance to every assault upon the
traditions and institutions of representa-
tive Government and chartered freedom.
We say that the negotiations of
Messrs. Hughes and Root were carried
on unlawfully and without authority;
that the agreements they made were
usurpations of the sole powers of the
Congress as plainly defined in the Con-
stitution; that no precedent or custom is
of any force against the plain words of
that Constitution; that no parts of the
treaties so negotiated that deal with
the navy or with our sea defenses or
that define offenses against the law of
nations are, or can be, of any binding
effect upon the American nation, that
they were negotiated in contempt Of the
sole Constitutional powers Of the Con-
gress, and that this or any succeeding
Congress can Constitutionally declare
all such parts null and void, and can
then order any increase of the navy or
any fortification of our naval bases and
outposts or any use of submarines or
other weapons of war that the Congress
chooses to order, without regard to the
provisions of any treaty made in usurpa-
tion of the unquestionably sole power
and authority of the Congress over these
three specific matters of common
defense.
And If either Mr.. Hughes or Mr.. Root
or any of their Senatorial camp followers
can show when and where the Congress
lost these sole powers and the Executive
gained them, we shall be highly graft
fled to obtain such singular information
and to print it for the benefit of many
thousands of other Americans, who, like
ourselves, are ignorant of the time and
occasion when the Constitution of the
land became a mere doormat for domes-
tic and foreign cabinet officers to wipe
their feet on.

WYE would like to know where
w Messrs. Hughes, Root, Lodge and
Underwood obtained power to
make a treaty with Japan and Eng
land to dispose of the navy of the
United States, to regulate the defenses
of the United States, and to define
offenses against the law of nations In
time of war.
These three things are the funda-
mentals Of the naval pact passed by the
Senate, and we affirm that not one of
them is within the power of the Presi-
dent or any delegates appointed by him.
The powers which belong to the
Congress, and to the Congress alone,
are enumerated in section eight of the
first article of the Constitution.
Among the powers enumerated as be-
longing to Congress-and to Congress
alone-are these:
1. The power to provide and maintain
a navy.
2. The power to provide for the COM
mon defense of the United States.
3. The power to define offsnses
against the law of nations.
The power ITO provide and maintain
a navy" carries with it, as matter OF
course, the power to increase or de-
crease the navy; and as the power ito
provide and maintain navy" belongs to
the Congress alone, 1t follows that the
power to increase or decrease the navy
belongs to the Congress alone.
The only Constitutional power the
President has over the navy Is to COM
mand 1t when the Congress has provided
1t. He has no power to increase the
navy, to decrease the navy, or to nego-
tiate with any foreign power any agree
ment to increase or decrease the navy.
If there Is any meaning in words or
any force left in our Constitution, that
part of the treaty negotiated by the
Presidents delegates in the ArmAment
Conference which agrees to destroy
large part of our navy was negotiated
without power or authority, because
neither in the President nor in the Sem
ate, nor in both together, is there any
Constitutional power. to provide" or to
maintain" our navy, or to increase or
decrease its strength.
The present navy and the ships under
construction and the increase to be made
during the next three years are all mat
ters provided for and ordered by the
Congress, in the exercise of its sole and
sovereign Constitutional authority over
those matters, and there is no possible
construction of the Constitution which
gives the President and his personal
representatives power to set aside the
