Lowell Speech On Covenant and Treaties Examined
The speaker argues the covenant may limit armaments and commerce and contends treaties do not violate constitutional power. He cites 1817 Great Lakes armament limits, 1846 New Granada treaty, 1908 Panama treaty, and various Bryan era arbitration pacts to claim treaties bind but do not nullify Congress’s authority. He dismisses the notion that league membership destroys sovereignty.
