HENRY CABOT LODGE (1850-1924). American statesman. Typed Letter Signed, “H.C. Lodge,” on his name-imprinted United States Senate Committee on Immigration letterhead. One page, 8” x 10 ½”. Washington, D.C. June 13, 1911. To “Edwin J. Lewis Jr. Esq. 9 Park St., Boston.” Lodge writes: “My dear Sir: I have received the resolutions adopted at the Norfolk Conference favoring an unlimited treaty of arbitration with Great Britain and have read them with care. I have always favored the policy of arbitration and voted for the treaties now in force and I believe in extending this policy by the ratification of broader treaties with other nations. No treaty of this sort has yet been submitted or even negotiated but if no one is presented you may rest assured that I shall give it every consideration. Very truly yours, H.C. Lodge.” In August of 1911, President William Taft secured the ratification of arbitration treaty he had negotiated with the United Kingdom, and the world seemed one step closer to creating a peaceful paradigm from which to approach future international disputes. Although, as our letter shows, this treaty was initially supported by Henry Cabot Lodge, the Massachusetts Senator soon joined forces with Theodore Roosevelt in an opposition campaign to the agreement. Irrespective of this domestic political opposition, the treaty floundered when Great Britain refused to accept it later in the year. With the British rejection of arbitration, the hopes of creating a peaceful groundwork from which to deal with international difference grew more remote, marking another small step towards the trenches of World War One.
