Robinson Resolution Urges Arbitration of Mexican Oil Dispute, Borah Backs It
The Democratic floor leader says the proposal also has the support of Senator Swanson, as the White House restates the President’s position.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic floor leader, introduced a resolution in the Senate on Tuesday favoring arbitration of the oil dispute with Mexico, the Associated Press reported. He said it had the backing of Chairman Borah of the Foreign Relations Committee and Senator Swanson of Virginia, the committee’s ranking Democrat.
The proposal followed debate over the Mexican-Nicaraguan situation in both houses and came after the White House restated the President’s attitude toward both countries. The New Britain Herald’s headline said Coolidge again defended his Nicaragua and Mexico policy while Congress renewed its drives.
