Discusses an endorsement of his proposed arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain. Taft would like the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to withhold their public endorsement until a specific agreement has been decided on, rather than endorsing the general idea of having an arbitration. In response to Hanna's question about the constitutionality of creating such a treaty, Taft quotes Article II of the Constitution.
