Letter from Seth Low to Henry Cabot Lodge

Seth Low offers his opinion on how to craft the arbitration treaty in order to protect some issues from arbitration. He agrees that the best option is to remove the last clause of Article 3. However, Low also suggests that each country have the right to reject an arbitration decision and that the propriety of their rejection be judged by the international community. A similar plan was used by the faculty and trustees of Columbia University.
