Senators Cullom and Baker Give Their Views
In the Senate executive session on the Hay Pauncefote treaty Senator Cullom spoke in support, while Senator Bacon criticized it as un American though he would not block ratification. Cullom highlighted the treaty’s supersession of the Clayton Turn er pact and need for an isthmian canal, arguing sovereignty rules would still allow canal control during war and that the nation aims for no new territory. A Washington report notes efforts to derail the treaty influence from transcontinental railroads and Panama interests.
