International arbitration is the oldest and most favored method of settling disputes between nations when diplomacy fails. The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 for the Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes both declare that “In questions of a legal nature, and especially in the interpretation or application of international conventions, arbitration is recognized by the Contracting Powers as the most effective, and at the same time the most equitable, means of settling disputes which diplomacy has failed to settle.”.

3 For the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations strongly objecting to this feature of the Taft Treaties on the ground that it violated the Constitution of the United States by attempting to delegate the treaty-making prerogatives of the Senate to an outside body, see this JOURNAL, Vol. 6, page 167 at page 172. For the final amendments made to the treaties by the Senate, which practically made it impossible for President Taft to suggest their ratification to the other governments, see ibid., page 460.
