Let us state the issue in its simplest form. that all men may see and understand the full purport of its meaning and the tremendous consequences which wait upon its proper determination. A State of this Union asserts its sovereign right to institute. maintain. and control a system of public schools within its borders. It passes a valid law authorizing the separation of Mongolians from whites attending those schools. An order of separation is made in pursuance of such law. The President makes. and the Senate confirms. a treaty with a foreign nation which guarantees to the citizens of that country of the Mongolian race the right to enter such State public schools on the same terms and in association with white children. The treaty says there shall be no separation of the races in the schools. the State statute says there shall be such separation. Is such treaty valid. and shall it prevail over the State law?
