MEXICAN ARBITRATION LIKE WORLD COURT


 The U. S. Senate, having given President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg ample warning of it's attitude toward Mexico, 1t is logical to suppose that the executive branch of the government will guide itself accordingly. The Senate resolution for arbitration of differences be- tween this government and Mexico, passed by the unanimous vote of 70 to 0. was decisive enough to leave no doubt as to the attitude of the upper house. Though the resolution is not binding upon the President and the secretary of state, it's effect cannot be otherwise than a guiding star of governmental policy. It means that if the executive hews along a contrary path with Mexico and attempts to negotiate different ly, the result will receive poor SUD- port when laid before that body for ratification.
 The President and the secretary of state heretofore has taken the posi- ton that the new Mexican laws are contrary to American ideas of pro- perty rights. The Senate through it's resolution has taken the position that it is really not out business what the Mexican laws means to the oil and mining interests; that Mexico is sovereign state and can pass any sort of laws that it wishes. The Sen- ate attitude is that we have no more rihgt to dictate the nature of Mexi- can laws than Mexico, if she were able, had the right to dictate American laws. The same thesis, Fundamentally, lies at the bottom of the controversy with Nicaragua.
 The Senate resolution, while ad- hitting the American government has the right and duty to protect American lives and property in Mexico, waxes warm when it refers to the fact that the theory of arbi- tration is sound doctrine, has been repeatedly upheld by the American government, and is consonant with our previous conceptions of applying international law. The tribunal which the Senate resolution suggests would, in truth, be expected to op- crate under the principles of inter- national law, and, according to the resolution, we would bind ourselves to observe it's decision.
 What in effect would be the diff ference, one might well ask, between such tribunal and the World Court, or the League of Nations? The objection to the League and the World court--at least one of the ob- jections-has been that we would hand over 10 such a tribunal the right to decide our foreign relations with some other nation, which, it has been claimed, would be an infringe ment upon the American right to insist upon having it's own way in any such dispute? The President, until short time ago, furthered the World Court; the Senate-or a pre- vious Senate-refused to ratify en- trance into the League of Nations, such ratification failing to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority, al- though gaining more than a major fly. Now, in q dispute with Mexico, the Senate favors exactly the kind of arbitration the League of Nations and the World Court stands for; and the President has opposed the kind Of arbitration that the World Court, which he once favored and probably still favors, exists to yield to embattled nations.
