Roosevelt Opposes Taft On Proposed Arbitration Pact
New York May 18 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt denounces President Taft’s proposed general arbitration treaty with Great Britain and France. He argues such a pact would force surrender of vital rights, urging explicit or tacit non-arbitration of honor independence and integrity. He warns hypocrisy would follow any such agreement and stresses a nation must defend its own rights rather than submit to arbitration. He cites recent incidents and warns against entangling alliances while calling for cautious diplomacy with any treaty.
