Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to William H. Taft

Senator Lodge believes that President Roosevelt should not be able to make treaties or agreements with other countries without consent of the Senate. The Hague treaty includes the same language as the South American treaties that were brought before the Senate, but it has been suggested that Roosevelt could make agreements between nations without reference to the Senate under the Hague treaty.
