The president as arbitrator

The president as arbitrator

In this editorial in The Philadelphia Press, Charles Emory Smith notes that the proposal by England and Germany that President Roosevelt should arbitrate their dispute with Venezuela reflects the growing importance of the United States in the world community and should be seriously considered. It might be better that the United States not be an arbitrator of differences, but remain simply an adviser to the other nations of the Americas. However, if it becomes necessary that Roosevelt act, he will do so with strict justice and to the credit of the nation.

Why not the Supreme Court?

Why not the Supreme Court?

Charles Emory Smith editorializes that the European powers’ insistence on the United States arbritrating their dispute with Venezuela might be solved by having a United States Supreme Court justice serve as arbitrator. This would have the advantages of having American issues arbitrated by Americans (rather than Europeans, were the Hague Tribunal to be involved); keeping the judicial and executive actions of the United States separate; and allowing for succession to another justice if the negotiations were protracted beyond the term or life of the one named (succession being a concern if President Roosevelt were named).
