Senator Lodge has been meeting with British leaders before the beginning of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal and they are in favor of a quick, amicable settlement. The Canadians will be more difficult and the British fear offending their sensibilities. Lodge believes the American case is strong and that the tribunal could conclude by the end of October. He has been pleased with President Roosevelt’s high standing in the United Kingdom.
