New Isthmian Treaty Ready Abrogating Clayton-Bulwer
Washington reports say the United States and Great Britain have agreed on an Isthmian canal treaty. It abrogates the Clayton-Bulwer pact, guarantees neutral passage in peacetime for ships on equal terms, and the United States alone guarantees neutrality. War powers remain with the U S, and Britain is a de facto guarantor. Ambassador Choate will deliver a draft, Roosevelt backs it, and early Senate ratification is anticipated. The plan emphasizes an all American canal under U S control with fortification possible if needed.
