President and Neutrality
New York World telegram

New York World telegram
The well nigh unanimous decision of the Supreme
Curt sustaining the right of Congress to delegate wide
power to the President in conducting our foreign
affairs no great surprise Indeed it would
have been surprising had it ruled otherwise
The Constitution expressly delegates such power
to the Chief Executive And while it wisely provides
numerous checks to prevent him going off the deep end
before he be halted within these limits his dis
erection is absolute
He may not, for example, Declare war That is
specifically up to Congress Nor may he enter into
treaties with foreign countries by and with the
consent of the Senate But he alone has the power
to negotiate and Congress cannot intrude thereon.
The importance of the Courts decision arises
from the fact that will Congress convene
than it will begin work something to replace Or
amend the present neutrality law designed to keep
us from being sucked into foreign war. The ques-
ton then will arise to how far Congress stand
ardize policy and how much leeway is to be left
in the hands of the President.
The President-and the State Department, his
Foreign Objected very strongly that his hands
must not be too tightly tied And the Supreme Court
headed by Chief Justc Hughes, who formerly held
the post of Secretary of plainly supports that
view. For it says, Congressional legislation which
is to be made effective through negotiation and
curry within the international field must often accord
to the President degree of discretion and freedom
from statutory restrictions which would not be ad-
missible domestic affairs alone involved"
The neutrality legislation ahead of the President
volved myriad delicate and dangerous. No COM
promise law will be satisfactory. law which will
nearly keep out of war; like the second best hand
at poker is no answer What is required is workable
solution.
What that solution should be is something the
very best brains the nation affords should ponder we'll

Some neutrality problems be regulated in adj
vance. Others cannot because they cannot be fore
seen. No two conflicts Identical no two
foreign complications alike Our domestic situa-
ton may be little vitality involved. Yet,
while vast network of neutrality legislation rigdy
detailed and mandatory may concevaby spell danger
to us as well security the hands of Congress are
not bound.
Congress can and should chart the general course
the ship of state should take in crisis, however
senal it may be to leave the pilot the necessary dis
erection to steer it inside the broad channel thus
marked out.
