Arbitration with France warms bipartisan support in Senate
Washington reports that ratification of the arbitration treaty signed in Washington last week would mark the first such agreement with France. While seen as of limited value, it is not expected to harm relations. Editorials from Brookyn Citizen and New York Evening Mail deem it modest yet stabilizing, with Secretary Hay praised for broad, long term impact. Paris dispatches anticipate prompt, possibly unanimous ratification by the French parliament. The press views an Anglo American arbitration pact as more significant, urging ratification of France first to pave the way with Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain.
