Senator HOnr's Proposed Amendment

In the executive session yesterday Sen
ator Hoar proposed to the Senate an
amendment to the arbitration treaty ex-
empting al; questions Of foreign and do
mestic policy. and all territorial questions.
from the operation Of the treaty.
Mr.. Hoar, in explaining his amendment.
said that it was practically consolida-
ton of the amendments suggested by the
committee on foreign relations the first
and second times. 1t would if adopted.
exempt not only all questions of policy.
but also all questions of national honor.
ana IL would preserve our territorial In
tegr1ty- These questions were specifically
removed from the operations of the treaty.
There was also provision for submitting
all formulations of agreement under the
treaty to the Senate.
senator Gray remarked upon the compre-
hensive character of the amendment and
asked Mr Hoar If it's adoption would not
practically amount to the cancellation of
the committee amendments providing for
the submission of all questions to the ra1i-
fcation of the Senate.
MI Hoar admitted that his amendment
covered the same ground as the committee
provision, but advocated it's adoption in
preference because, If incorporated n
