HC Deb 25 April 1911 vol 24 cc1566-7
Mr. HUNT

asked whether, in view of the fact that Mr. Taft stated that Americans would be willing to arbitrate on all questions, he can say whether America is willing to arbitrate about the Monroe doctrine and about the fortification and neutralisation of the Panama Canal?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I can make no statement on the subject at present.

Mr. HUNT

Is it not a fact that according to President Taft's view the American Senate have power to say whether a question shall go to arbitration or not?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I think I have covered that point by the answer I have already given.
