Senator Lodge agrees that there are dangers with the arbitration treaty. President Taft claims that the treaty will be ineffective without Clause 3 of Article 3 but also states that certain matters cannot be arbitrated, thus ignoring Clause 3. Silas McBee of The Churchman has come out in defense of the Senate’s position and Lodge has sent a letter for McBee to publish. He was pleased to receive a copy of The Outlook with his article and read Theodore Roosevelt’s Dante article with great interest.
