Cox, The great Sabb.'iUi s(*hool ¦¦i"': .'.onstitution regulating the making oE men's Bible class convened at 2o'cKick^ treaties, contemplates that the presi¬ dent and the senate are co-equal, be¬ cause no treaty can be put in force; that is, can be ilatifled, unless it is with the consent, .and with the advice of the senate. The practice of the past has been for the president to conduct the negotiations, but the prac¬ tice has also been that in the con¬ duct of the negotiation he has fol¬ lowed lines that have been previously discussed, between himself and the senate. He perhaps has the techni¬ cal, legal right under the constitution to conduct the.se mjgotiations alone and take the risk of the senate's con¬ senting when the treaty is disclosed^ to it, as he has done in this case. He certainly has no moral right to do so in the trans.ac.tion he has consumm.at- ed. which surilendes our sovereignly, destroys our fixed policies of govern¬ ment and impairs the institutions set up by our fathers and honored and revered   ever   since."
