Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

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.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt was injured after falling from her horse and was unconscious for over twenty-four hours. There is no serious danger but she is in great pain. Theodore Roosevelt requests information on the Central American treaties which he supported. Senator Cummins will support the arbitration treaty if the Senate can confirm the commissioners. Roosevelt is not satisfied with Senate confirmation as it avoids several prominent arguments against the arbitration treaty and appointing commissioners would inevitably become a political matter.
