Secretary of War Taft encloses his correspondence with Henry Cabot Lodge, in which the position of the Senate is “very strongly stated.” Lodge’s opposition would require that cases for arbitration be narrowly defined before entering into any general arbitration treaty. Lodge’s use of the South American treaties is unfair given the potential actions of the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
