Taft Eyes Abrogation Of Russia Treaty In Executive Route
Taft plans to abrogate the 1832 treaty with Russia by executive decree if the Senate cannot agree, sending two communications to the Senate and a public note. He argues relations with Russia remain long standing and that a new treaty might follow if abrogation proceeds carefully. Cabinet members and lawmakers debate whether the House or Senate should lead, with sessions expected late this night and into Christmas adjournment.
