Rift Follows Signing Of
Reich-Japanese
Alliance.
BY WALLACE r. DEUEL..
. u di0 m The Star


~ ERLIN, Germany, November 26.
x Sour notes were heard here
today amid the loud Hosannas
with which Official spokesmen
saluted the conclusion OF the new
German-Japanese alliance against
Russia.
First, with the ink of the signatures
hardly dry on the treaty. important
differences regarding its meaning de-
veloped between the two partners.
And second, the British reaction
to the concluding of the alliance be-
gan to make the Nazis wonder Il they
had not perhaps once more made q
serious miscalculation about England.
The more the Nazis thought about 1t,
the more they were afraid that that
was exactly what they had done.
For the Nazis expected England to be
pleased by the alliance.
1t was the Japanese Embassy here,
whose own chief signed the new treaty
Of alliance for Japan, which expressed
views Of the treaty which differed
widely from the official Nazi views.
According to official Nazi spokes-
men the new alliance provides for
joint intervention by Germany and
Japan in any part of the world where
they decide that the Communist Inter-
rationale is engaging in its "destruc-
tive work" One spokesman specifically
cited Spain as a region where inter-
yention under the treaty was called
for. So far as the terms of the treaty
itself go, they would provide for inter-
ventlon also, for example, in the
United States, where the Nazis assert
the Communist Internationale Is en-
eaging in its destructive work" In the
present shipping strike.
But the japanese Embassy here
takes much more limited view of the
scope of the Alliance. A high off,
cial there (not the Ambassador him.
self, but his second in command) said
today that the treaty covered only the
territory of the two partners and the
activities of their own citizens else
where. Nobody could be found today
who could reconcile these opposing
views.
The British reaction is also disap-
pointing, not to say shocking, to the
Nazis. Incredible though 1t may
seem, the Nazis confidently believed
that England would be delighted by
the signature of the alliance with
Japan. They were so sure of this that
they brought Ambassador Joachim
Won Ribbentrop back from his post in
London for the express purpose Of
signing the treaty in the belief that
identifying him personally with the
Alliance would greatly improve his
position at the Court Of st. James.
They are beginning now to wonder If
this was such a good idea.

Comment on Supreme Court Involved Peculiar
Tangle Which Justices Solved.

other eight jurists concurred, but de-
clined to subscribe to the reasoning
by which Justice Brown arrived at it.
-Four others dissented outrightly. That
Is what gave point to the ironic de-
scription Of the decision as being "by
Brown, eight dissenting"
Opens Way to Legislation.
Unsatisfactory as was this decision
OF bizarrely divided Court, 1t put the
necessary approval on what had been
done. and opened the way for appro-
pirate legislation about the depend
encies.
The Court had to recognize the
facts. We had the islands, we were
determined to keep them-but we did
not propose to give those alien peoples
the same status. and an equal voice in
governing us, as ourselves. These were
the facts, and the Court by the de-
cislon 1t made saved the face Of the
Constitution. That they did so is
proof Of their wisdom and sense of
responsibility.
Mr.. Dooley's dissertation on the
Courts decision was one of his most
richly engaging. He had doubts. based
on personal no less than constitutional
propriety. whether the Constitution
ought to shadow the flag to all tn
tough resorts on tn Passyflc Coast"
He said "the flag was so lively no con-
stitution cud follow it an survive"
Out of the same concern for the
Constitutions good health and decor
Gus behavior, he said:
"Ye can't make me think tn Consti-
tuition is goin' thrapezin' around ivry-
where young leftinant in tn Army

laves the flag up in tn air an some day
that's where it laves the Constitution.
Annyhow, something's in the air. But
there's wan thing I'm sure about No
matter whether the Constitution fol-
lows tn flag or not, tn Supreme Court
follows tn illiction returns"
Do need to apologize for recounting
this 35year-old fragment of history?
Decidedly not. The lesson from it is
worthwhile. In that old case, the
court was faced by a fact. We had
annexed the islands and, In the elec-
tion Of 1900, the country had con-
firmed the policy. The Court saw, as
Grover Cleveland said on another oc-
casion. "it is a condition and not q
theory that confronts U.S." OF course,
the Court took judicial notice of the
election returns of 1900.

Under such circumstances the cour-
tesy of a personal visit by the Presi-

example of Latin culture to the world
-Argentina-is something to applaud
with enthusiasm. 1t is the human
touch that gives this incident a sig
nificance which the average person in
the United States perhaps does not
fully realize. But those who are ia

a century will regard the Presidents

The question which was the 1900
predecessor Of our present commotion
about the Supreme Court had to do
with expansion" How many can
now remember when that word was
a major political and legal issue, even
more decorating than N. r. A. and
Capitalization are today. An austere
scholar, Charles Warren, spoke of the
Supreme Court cases that arose out of
our annexation of overseas territory,
the so-called "insular cases." as "a
judicial drama Of truly Olympian
proportions" Then, as now, loud
voices said that the Constitution must
be changed. or that it must not be;
that the Supreme Court must be
curbed, or that 1t must not be.
New Islands Raise Questions.
We had fought the war with Spain,
We had won. and we had taken over
Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Hav-
ing them on our hands, we found they
entailed awkward questions. Were
these islands now part of the United
States in the same sense as Pennsyl-
vania or Illinois? Or as Hawaii and
Alaska, which we had taken over be-
fore? Could citizens of Puerto Rico
vote in our elections for President?
Had they the same civil rights, habeas
corpus, freedom of religion and the
like. as citizens of the mainland?
Could they enter the United States
without regard to the immigration
tests applied to foreigners? Could
goods from the islands come into the
United States without regard to the
tariff?
These questions, and the differing
applications of them to dependencies
and territories. bristled with legalistic
distinctions, not convenient to 20 into
here. The whole tangle was embodied.

The insular cases called for some
dexterity, and the Court handled its
difficult responsibility with what
turned out to be high wisdom. The
justices recognized the practical diff

and found way out, although by

to say it was a flve-to-four decision
does not fully convey the tangle of
