Senator Lodge has not seen a definite arbitration treaty but has been thinking over the matter. He agrees with Theodore Roosevelt that the promoters of arbitration are too idealistic but he would be willing to support a “liberal arbitration treaty” as long as no promises are made that no “self-respecting nation” would carry out. Lodge wants to find a way to create truthful arbitration without his criticisms being used to portray him as a warmonger.
