Before arriving here he spent nine

Mr.. TAFT in his speeches, outlined
plan, by which he hopes to wipe out
objections in the United States Sen
ate to the recently negotiated treaty
of arbitration with Great Britain and
France
These treaties have been held up
and threatened with defeat largely
because several senator's have con-
tended that the proposed joint high
commission, which will determine
whether or not question to be sent
to arbitration practically will rob
the Senate of its power of passing on
the question.
Suggests Compromise.
The president tonight suggested as
compromise that the Americas
members of such joint commission
should be confirmed 0y the Senate.
He said he saw no reason why they
should not be If Congress or the Sen
ate thought it dangerous to trust
the president only to make the ap-
pointments.
President TAFT declared he would
further than this and be willing to
wipe out the joint high commission
entirely If need be, and leave tn,
decision as to whether question i;
arbitratible to board of Arbitra-
tion.
He also wiul be willing to have
this beard pass, not only upon thu
merits of the question, but upon tn,
