NEWS OF THE WEEK.

T 1 AST t hSaturday e r . Taft ft t s which signed d thad h e Panama am a agreed ed Canal Bill

by the two Houses in joint conference. It is with great regret that we record a step which is utterly out of harmony with the traditions and repute of the United States. The nerveless suggestion of Mr. Taft that foreigners should be allowed to

test their grievances in the Supreme Court of the United States has been so far ignored by Congress. We are not dotty for this: Nothing could-be gained by the right to refer what is essentially an international question to a national tribunal. Mr..Taft alio suggested that Congress should add a rider to the effect that the United States Government do not consider that the Bill violates any treaty.
