No matter how creditable the record of the United States has been in the past in the promotion of arbitration to insure peace, its present record for work in the future is almost nil, and this is due almost solely to the oppo- sition evidenced by the Senate to ail constructive efforts by the Executive, James G. McDonald, chairman of the Foreign Policy Association, told the American Association of University Women at dinner last night in the clubhouse, 1634 I street. The ad- dress was the first of a series of six lectures to be given, one each month, with the exception of December, that the association is sponsoring. Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson at- tempted to negotiate general treaties of arbitration, Mr. McDenald declared, and the Senate imposed so man strictions and exceptions as to them worthless and generally unac- ceptable to the President. This oppo- tion is due, he continued, to the fact that the Senate has a peculiar inter- pretation of its own of the Constitu- tion, and the President and most othe persons have another. Enumerates Five Influences. { _ Mr. McDonald enumerated the forces that underlie this opposition un: five hea First, the Anglo-Saxon's dislike for general commitments and [ entangle secondly, the individ- ual Senato ) not want arbitration because they are afraid local ques tions, such as the refunding of the debts of the Southern States and 1panese ation on the i t be bro P ght before a juc inst them.
