That difficulty has been so great that neither President Wilson nor President Harding would undertake to overcome it. and I doubt if any wise President would. But great as that difficulty is. and forceful as is the objection which it presents to the enactment of Title III. I do not regard it as the most serious objection to it. The most serious objection is in the fact that this particular title. in effect. authorizes the President to abrogate provisions of our immigration laws. It seclms to be conceded that a treaty negotiated and ratified after the passage of an act of Congress may modify or repeal a prior legislative enactment by Congress. In the Amnirian Journal of International Law.
