Roosevelt plan risks treasury collapse in extra Senate action
The analysis argues that a tariff bill could meet Senate approval while the President might push for an extra session to ratify treaties, potentially cutting customs receipts by half and endangering the treasury before year’s end. It notes Roosevelt’s cautious approach, public sentiment in New England and the West, and plans to secure cross‑house pledges and special concessions from Cuba. It also mentions Supreme Court changes with Judge Holmes replacing Justice Gray and expected retirements of Justices Shiras and Fuller, plus Navy concerns for light-draft cruisers to protect Caribbean interests.
