‘ it be gathered fromthqix silence “that
announcements hitherto recorded em-
body the common sentiment of the
American Senate.”
The Colorado Senator deprecated
action of critics in- withholding their
condemnation of some of the Frost
dent’s fourteen principles until after
those principles had been accepted
not only by the Allies,}but by enemy
countries as well. saying this belated
criticism “may impair the prestige or
detract from America's influence in.
the congress of nations."
After quoting from. letters and opin
ions by Alexander Hamilton, Thomas
Jefferson and others to show that t e
Presidents power in negotiating trea-
ties is made supreme by :he Constitu-
tion, Senator Thomas dscussed the
points in the President peace pro—
gram which some Republican leaders
in the Senate have urged ‘should not
be considered until after the Peace
Conferenc.1 In: 1 i'
The Senator endorsed the Presi‘
. dent's demand for “the removal fas
far as possible of economic barriers."
As to “freedom of «a seas." the
speaker said that since the submarine
has‘ 'come to stay," international regl
ulations for its use is imperative. and
that freedom of navigation in times of
war under laws which belligerents
must be made to‘ respect. becomes an
‘unavoidable necessity."
