Senator Lodge discussed the British arbitration treaty with President Taft who assured him that the phrase “all questions internationally justiciable” will provide an escape for issues that no nation could agree to arbitrate, including all domestic issues. Lodge feels that the phrase will make the treaty safe but also very limited in scope. The Democrats are troubled by the treaty and Lodge believes that they are being influenced by opposition from Irish and German Americans.
