Letter from Edward Alsworth Ross to Theodore Roosevelt

Professor Ross was pleased to receive Theodore Roosevelt’s letter regarding Ross’s article entitled “The Struggle for Existence in China.” Ross has been anticipating an effort to end barriers against “Oriental immigration” as part of a policy to expand trade. The article was an effort to have an “unanswerable argument” against Chinese immigration without the “taint of racial prejudice.” Ross will soon be publishing a new book entitled The Changing Chinese and may be able to see Roosevelt in New York on September 15.
