TREATIES RATIFIED
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
And FOREIGN COUNTRIES
The Senate, BY Vote Of so to 9 Pass
an Amendment Substituting the
Word Treaty for Agreement in
Each Treaty-President Roosevelt
Opposed Such Action.

President Roosevelt has addressed a
letter to Senator Cullom. chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
stating that the action of that commit
tee in amending the arbitration treat
les by substituting for the word
agreement" the word treaty is. in
his opinion. not a step forward but
a step backward.
If the word treaty" is substituted
the treaties would amount to a spe-
ciic announcement against the whole
principle Of general arbitration
treaty. The president also says that
it, in the judgment of the president
an amendment nullifes a proposed
treaty it seems to him that it is no
less clearly his duty to refrain from
endeavoring to secure ratification Of
the amended treaty.
Senator Cullom read the letter aloud
during an executive session of the
senate. 1t was received with a great
deal of surprise and several senators
asserted that the letter confirmed
what they had claimed. namely, that
the words treaty" and agreement"
were the essential points. They in
sisted that IL the word agreement"
instead of treaty" was used it would
give the president full power to nego-
tiate agreements without submitting
them to the senate.
The senate, by a vote of so to g.
Saturday passed an amendment to all
of the arbitration treaties by substi
tuting the word treaty" for "agree-
ment" in the second article of each
It was this amendment to which the
president was opposed.
The senate ratified the arbitration
treaties between the United States and
eight European governments. 1t re
quired two sessions to reach an agree
ment. At the first session considera-
ton was given to the communication
from the president to Senator Cullom
in the form of a protest of any amend
ment being adopted. At the second
session the treaties were amended and
ratified with only nine votes against
the amendment made by the senate
committee on foreign relations.
