Secret debate on Hay Pauncefote treaty and canal fortifications
In executive session the senate agreed to vote next Thursday on an amendment by the foreign relations committee concerning policing of the canal. Senator Teller proposed striking out the fortification ban against the Nicaragua canal and altering the provision to allow military force to protect the canal against lawlessness. Teller argued the United States should build the canal without British consent and cited prior officials' opinions and breaches of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. He warned Britain would not tolerate independent U S action but said popular will would resist English assent.
