Congress has power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territories of the United States. But the treatymaking power may be exercised on the subject. and territory be alienated or acquired. as the best interests of the country may deInand. Congress has power to establish a untilbrm rule of naturalization. still. foreigners resident in the Territories. when acquired. have been declared to be clotled with the rights of citizens. In Alaska te treaty for its cession admitted lbreigners to all such rights. When we recall the fact that "all treaties made. or which shall be made. under the author.ty of the United States" override all State laws and acts of Congress. it would seem that the treatyluaking power is not so restricted and circumscribed as the authors of the construetioni under consideration claim.
