Treaty Law-Making

I am going to review with you today the law with respect to the federal treaty-making power as it seemed to be two years ago when I made the California speech and then call your attention to the law as announced in April of this year by the Fujii case in California. Finally, I will try to indicate where we Americans may find ourselves in the next two or three years unless, as lawyers, we raise our voices and save our domestic law and basic rights from the encroachments and engulfments of international legislation effected through the treaty-making power.
