Senator Cullom Describes Treaty Effects on Canal Control
Senator Cullom argues the new treaty supersedes the Clayton Bulwer pact and preserves neutralization for all nations equally while allowing the United States to close the canal in war if needed. He asserts policing applies in peace not war and that sovereignty changes would not alter conditions for canal closure. He cites President Roosevelt’s message claiming the U.S. seeks no new territory and current boundaries should remain.
