Senator Lodge was alarmed to hear of Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s fall and sends his love. He has limited information on the Honduran and Nicaraguan treaties but will send copies to Theodore Roosevelt. Lodge does not approve of Senator Cummins’s idea for a Senate-appointed commission as part of the arbitration treaty. He believes that it would be better to have no commission than to protect their interests by such a method. Commissions are also too slow and selecting commissioners opens everyone involved to political attacks.
