Letter from George W. Smalley to Theodore Roosevelt

George W. Smalley discusses recent events and public opinion of the Venezuela crisis. He encloses an article from the London Times of December 3, which condemns the sinking of the Venezuelan ships unless justifiable by facts not yet known. However, he comments that public opinion has been “tranquil” on the subject and that many in England view Roosevelt’s administration as a safeguard to British interests and in fact want the British government to ask Roosevelt to help. Smalley offers to come to Washington or to communicate on Roosevelt’s behalf in London, if he can be of help.
