There are ... at least two important problems confronting the framers of a federal constitution in respect of the conduct of the foreign relations of the federation. There is the problem of whether the power to control foreign relations should be given in its entirety to the general government or divided between general and regional governments, more particularly so far as the carrying of treaties into effect is concerned. And there is the problem of how the power of the general government in foreign affairs, whatever its extent may be, is to be so controlled that in its exercise the divergent interests of the component regions in the federation shall be duly safeguarded.1
