HE REPORTED FEELING among United States Senators that the position of the Senate in relation to the coming Peace Conference should be something more than that of a body whose cole function is to wait until it is called upon to approve or disapprove such treaty or agrocment as the President may submit to it, is not unnatural. i ‘The Constitution provides that the President “shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties.” In view of the momentous questions involved, it is not surprising that Senators should be inclfhed to lay greater stress upon the word “advice” in this seotion and paragraph of the Constitution and to ‘give it the force of a more literal interpretation than national usage has in all cases accorded it, i The dictionary gives as the first meaning of the verb “to advise”: To offer an opinion to, by way of counsel; give sug- gestions or advice to concerningys course or act; counsel; warn, * Obviously, if “advice” be taken in this sense, there is ground for Senatorial contention that, since two-thirds of the Senate must concur in a treaty made by tho President, Senatorial responsibility pre-supposes close Senatorial touch with Peace proceedings from the beginning and as they progress toward the final stage of definite international agreement. If the Senate has its special claims in this direction, is there not & more general claim which the whole Nation may register? Open diplomacy, which is one of the fundamental world reforms for which demotracy has been fighting, would naturally expect to celebrate its first glorious triumph in the Peace Conference. The recent action of the Government of the United States in ‘taking over the cables places upon that Government a very special obligation and responsibility in assuring the people of the United States promptness, accuracy.and openness in. the. transmission of all ‘news from the Peace Council while it is in session, "During the President’s personal participation in the Conference or in councils adjacent thereto he must, of course, derive a large part of his power to shape its purposes from constant assurance that public opinion in the Nation for which he speaks is intelligently following the course of the deliberations and putting the force of its approval and will behind his representation of its aims. The real treaty-making power in the United States is the power not of one or of one hundred but of one hundred million. — pee PRICE CARDS IN FOOD STORES AND MARKETS. ‘ HANKSGIVING WEEK was a good time to put-in force the I Food Administration’s new order requiring every retail food store and market in Greater New York-and in Westchester and Nassau Counties to display a bulletin board’ showing the fair ‘maximum current prices the wholesaler may charge the retailer, the maximum margin of profit allowed the latter, the fair maximum prices the retailer may charge the consumer and the prices the retailer is actually charging. It should not take the public long to form the habit of scruti- nizing these price schedules and reporting overcharges—particularly es in cases where 331-3 per cent. of a dealers customers speak a| Ver to the foreign language the schedule must be posted in that language also. Thankegiving retail trade has always been a rich raiding field for the food profiteers. Thanksgiving this year ought to see a marked difference to the advantage of housewives’ pocketbooks in and about New York. | This schedule of fair retail prices and profits to be displayed by retail food dealers as a regular and required part of their shop equip- ment is an anti-profiteering safeguard which The Evening World has tried for a year and a half to have put into practical use in this city. That it has finally appeared in a form in which it is to be impar- tially and officially enforced among the 30,000, retail food dealers in Greater New York is not the least among the many things for which New Yorkers have present cause to be thankful.
