Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Foreign Relations: Upon the General Arbitration Treaties With Great Britain and France, Signed on August 3, 1911, and the Proposed Committee Amendment The Committee cm Foreign Relations has reported to the Senate, with certain amendments, two treaties - one with Great Britain and one with France - for the general arbitration of differences which may arise between those countries and the United States, and have recommended that the treaties, thus amended, be ratified by the Senate. In accordance with the instructions of the Senate the committee now submits its report explaining the provisions of the treaties and the purpose and necessity of the amendments proposed. In order to understand thoroughly the nature of these treaties, it is necessary to review briefly what has already been accomplished in the same direction and to make clear the character of the existing treaties on this subject which are to be superseded and to point out the differences between the latter and those now before the Senate. In 1905 Mr. Hay, then Secretary of State, negotiated with Great Britain and certain other powers general arbitration treaties, which were submitted to the Senate by President Roosevelt for its advice and consent. These treaties provided for the submission to arbitration of practically all questions which did not affect the vital interests, the independence, or the hoiior of the two contracting states and which did not concern the interests of third parties. Under these treaties the special agreement, which must be entered into in each particular case for the purpose of defining the questions and the powers of the arbitrators in that case, was to be made by the Executive without reference to the Senate. By a vote of more than 5 to 1 the Senate amended these treaties so as to secure the submission of all such special agreements to the Senate for its advice and consent. The treaties thus amended were not presented by the administration to the other contracting powers and never became operative. In 1908 Mr. Root, then Secretary of State, negotiated similar treaties with various powers in which the right of the Senate to advise and consent to all special agreements made under these treaties was explicitly provided for. Approved by President Roosevelt and by him submitted to the Senate, these treaties were ratified by the Senate without opposition and are still the law of the land. The two treaties now submitted remove the exceptions made in their predecessors as to questions affecting national honor, vital interests, independence, or the interests of third parties, and substitute therefor in Article I a statement of the scope of arbitration which is designed by its terms to exclude all questions not properly arbitrable.
