Nothing to arbitrate

Nothing to arbitrate

A Jewish Morning Journal editorial discusses the issue of Russia not allowing any Jews into the country even with American passports, and Theodore Roosevelt’s suggestion this be taken up in arbitration at the Hague. The author calls Roosevelt a friend of Jewish people, but questions if this is worth pursing since they believe Russia to be unreasonable and uncivilized, other officials have tried and failed to resolve this issue, and if the Hague were to side with Russia then the U.S. would be compelled to accept it without complaint.

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Edward Grey

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Edward Grey

Ambassador Reid tells Earl Grey that the United States cannot accept the terms proposed to settle the Newfoundland fisheries dispute. He therefore requests that the matter be sent for arbitration before the Hague Tribunal. Until the matter is settled there, he hopes the modus vivendi previously negotiated may remain in place, by which American fishermen will refrain from using purse-seines but will continue hiring local Newfoundland fishermen.
