President Taft spoke of the ideals he
had in mind through the making of the
treaties. that they would form the basis
for treaties with all nations and between
other nations that would lead to final
interlocking of treaties. which would ulti-
mately bring about the settlement of all
International questions by court of ar
bitration with powers enforced by such
treaties. This ideal he still cherished. he
said, and while it had received a "body
blow he believed the idea was one that
was bound to grow and quietly establish
itself.

of peace for the reason that the nations
Of the world look to the United States,
and properly look to the United States. as
a leader in the matter of establishing
peace, because we are so fortunately
placed between oceans. and without
troublesome neighbors. that we can go
on without fear of consequences to estab-
lish a condition in which We shall settle
every question by reference to an arbitrai
tribunal.
1T is because the nations of the world
looked to us to do that that the an
nouncement of the doctrine of the Senate
of the United States that We have no
power to make an arrangement Of that
sort for the future. except as we adopt
each particular contract to arbitrate each
particular question, presents to those OF
us who hope for universal peace so great
an obstruction.
Issue Overlooked in Elections.
Now the difficulty about arguing peace
is that when you get before an audience
everybody is in favor of peace. They are
all in favor of peace. But when it comes
to an election the issue as to internation-
al peace does not play any part at all.
THE peace part of the political platform
does not seem to affect anybody but the
peace societies. And when you say to
members of the Senate of the United
States. You are reaching a conclusion
In which the people do not stand by you.'
they say. Well. what of that, such an
issue never controlled a single vote at
the election.
Now We ought to make it control some
votes. SO that when a senator rises in
his place and says, The Senate has no
power to make an obligation of this sort
to bind our government to future policy
of arbitration we shall say. Your con-
Stituents differ with You in that regard.

Gallinger Opposes Arbitration.

Senator Gal1inger. chairman of the re-
publican caucus. said: II am opposed to
the arbitration of this subject, because
consider it a domestic question. The canal
has been built on our own soil by our
own money. and we should control it."
II am inclined to think that we shall
be compelled by the terms of the arbitra-
ton treaty to submit the canal question
to arbitration" said Senator Hitchcock OF
the foreign relations committee. re-
greet the necessity. but think we are In
honor bound. I think. however, that We
have a right to insist upon tribunal
which has no interest In the result"
Senator Borah, member of both the for
eign relations and the canal committees.
said he was disposed to oppose arbitra-
ton. ITO concede arbitration would es-
tablish a precedent that would be en-
barrassing,' said he. II would rather
repeal the canal law than arbitrate. de-
clared Senator Stone, democrat. OF the
foreign relations committee Prom my
point of view the imposition of tolls on
canal traffic is merely domestic ques-
ton, and l am not IN favor OF submitting
such questions to arbitration. We have a
right to repeal and to re-enact the statute
If we so desire 1t is not important to
shipping that 1t should stand. but it is
important that we should not imperil our
rights"
State Department Silent.
State Department officials were un-
willing to discuss the position taken
today by President Taft on the Pana-
ma canal tolls controversy in his New
York speech From the time the inter-
national tangle originated last sum-
mer. with the fling of the preliminary
protest by Great Britain while the Pa
mama act was pending in Congress, up
to the receipt on December OF the
formal letter of Sir Edward Grey, and
since that time, it repeatedly has been
known at the State Department that
the administration would not submit
the matter to arbitration.
Officials of the department, it is
known, have been deeply engrossed in
the study of Sir. Edward Grey's letter;
with a view to formulating the United
states reply. Few officials of the de-
nartment. it is therefore taken for
granted. have been aware that the ma
ture of the reply would be SO radically
SiMerent, from what President Taft's
utterances today. indicated it would be.

Split in Senate on Question.

President Tafts declaration that he
intends the Panama canal controversy
with Great Britain shall be submitted
to arbitration las soon as We get down
to the point of ISSUE" again brought
out the sharp division that exists in the
Senate over the obligation of the Unit
ed States under it's arbitration treaty.
Senator Bacon. the leading demo-
cratic member of the foreign relations
committee: Senator Hitchcock. another
democratic member Of that committee,
and other prominent members OF the
Senate expressed their conviction that
the United States was bound by its
treaty with Great Britain to submit to
arbitration. Senator Root OF New YORK,
the same view Senator Sutherland.
republican. also a member of the COM
mittee, has previously expressed the
belief that the subject is domestic
one and not such as the United states
is compelled to arbitrate.
Senator Bacon, in statement based
on President Taft's announcement, sug-
gested that the United States, II 1T sub
mitted to arbitration. could properly ask
for a special tribunal. so constituted as
to insure an impartial judgment.
Arbitration Specified, Says Bacon.

because 1 thought it did bind us to do
what Great Britain now claims the
treaty requires us to do, and i was I'M
willing for the United States to be bound
in that way.
while 1 think we are bound to consent
to arbitration, / also think we could

it would be difficult to find strictly i'm

manent court of arbitration at The
