report of the committee on in ternational law In substance as follows: Your committee has corresponded with numerous senators of the United States and its chairman conferred also with Pres ident Cleveland and Mr Olney the secre tary of state under whose auspices the treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain which was trans mitted to the senate for its ratification January 11 1897 was negotiated The address of Lord Chief Justice Rus sell the report submitted to the associa tion by your committee at its last meeting and innumerable other documents and speeches have exhibited very plainly the great diversity ot plans for the estab lishment of arbitrary tribunals which have been Considered and dlacussed for many years and some ot which from time to tim? have been adopted with reference to particular cases This is a subject upon which there may naturally be differences ot opinion and possibly some ot the differ ent plans may have equal merits The great

eminent men Lord Salis bury and Mr Olney whose official posi tion made it their duty to consider the question and decide upon it It seems to your committee that the di versities of opinion referred to should now for the sake of harmonious and concerted action be laid aside and that It is in the interest of international arbitration that tne influence of this and kindred associa should be brought to bear in favor of rne adoption of substantially the plan em bodied in the treaty This seems to your committee still more clear in view of the the treaty received a majority vote in the senate although not the neces sary two thirds vote to complete the ratifi cation 1 The rights of both parties are carefully protected If Great Britain should have a territorial claim against the United would not be final unless the British counsel should succeed in convinc ing two American judges that the claim was just and vice versa It seems to your committee that the es pecial advantage of the ratification of treaty is this: The claims that are anncult to settle by negotiation are those that give rise to angry feelings on one side or the other Popular governments are necessarily somewhat influenced by popu lar clamor It was probably only by the personal influence of Queen Victoria that Lord dispatch in reference to the seizure of Mason and Slidell was so softened down as to make It practicable for Secretary Seward to negotiate and finally to surrender the two prisoners whose arrest he was obliged to admit was Certainly at that time we had a very narrow escape and it could hardly be ex pected that such an extraordinary circum stance should occur again With an arbi tration treaty in force it would not be nec essary under such conditions to make an agreement for arbitration The agreement would be made in advahce the machinery would be provided and the natural thing to do would be to appoint the ahitrators and let the matter be discussed before them The decision would involve delay and be fore its announcement popular excitement would measurably subside The objection is often taken to any arbi tration treaty that the court has no power to enforce its decisions But your commit tee believe that experience shows that this objection which seems plausible at first is without solid foundation During the past thirty years many controversies be tween the owners of capital and theirworkmen have been referred to arbitration No law has ever been passed compelling submission to the award of arbitrators un der such circumstances It would be diffi cult and perhaps impossible to secure the enactment of such a law Yet experience shows that these awards are generally sub mitted to by both sides The very fact that obedience is not compulsory is the strongest possible argument to the arbitrat ors to make a just award which shall command respect upon its merits The case is one of those so frequent in history in which liberty of action secured by law has been of itself a safeguard against hasty and unreasonable action The exercise of liberty tends to induce a sense of responsi bility Your committee therefore recom mend for adoption the following resolur tions: Resolved That this association learned with much satisfaction that the treaty Of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain which was transmitted to the senate of the United States January 11 1897 received the approval of a majority of the members voting upon the question of ratification even though the majority was not sufficient to ratify the treaty Resolved That tho provisions this treaty afford a reasonable fair and just method of adjusting the differences be tween the United States and Great Britain which are within the scope of tha treaty Resolved That the president of the United States be respectfully requested to take such measures as may be within his power to secure the adoption either of the treaty before mentioned or'of a similar ar bitration treaty The report elicited a somewhat spirited discussion which was participated in by Judge ollett Walter Logan of New York Judge Ek Sherman of Illinois James Hoyt of this city Judge Henry Page of Maryland Judge lnkelnberg of St Louis and others respecting arbitraz tion and other matters upon which inter national law bears Tne report of the com mittee was unally referred to a special committee
