Lodge Warns Ratified Treaties Endanger Monroe Doctrine
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge declares that ratification of the British and French arbitration treaties could jeopardize the Monroe Doctrine and U S claims to the Panama Canal. He argues a foreign composed commission might decide what is justiciable and urges the Senate to withhold arbitration on key questions including immigration, Galapagos and Curacao, and canal tolls. He warns that arbitration could force the United States to submit title to the canal to a tribunal and says the doctrine is not international law but a policy backed by U S power.
