Click on image to zoom in
Charles Emory Smith discusses a couple of options in the Venezuelan crisis. One suggests that President Roosevelt handles the arbitration. Smith is not altogether opposed to this idea, but prefers the suggestion that Roosevelt appoint a Supreme Court justice to handle the arbitration. This idea would not unduly encumber Roosevelt, but would have his authority behind it.
