The piece argues the Panama tolls exemption bill, seen as undermining the Clayton Bulwer precedent, exposes Senate and Lodge to charges of expediency. It warns that passing legislation to void a treaty damages American prestige and invites foreign distrust, urging negotiated settlements instead.
Frank A. Vanderlip reports Europe’s postwar woes while American exports rise and a boom gives way to a collapse. Analysts warn of a global downturn, but advocates say the world is recovering, needing less bulk advice and more individual initiative to sustain industry.
