President Roosevelt asks for Senator Hale’s assistance in ratifying the Algeciras treaty. Roosevelt had not supposed that there would be opposition to it, but “apparently some of the Democrats are inclined to make trouble.” The United States signed on to the treaty because it was already a signatory to the existing treaty, and failing to do so would have meant a loss of treaty rights. Roosevelt considers it important to be a party to the treaty, and mentions that the United States has had a treaty with Morocco since even before the Constitution was adopted.
