President Roosevelt thoroughly commends Senator Lodge for his speech, which he sent a copy of to Secretary of War William H. Taft. Following up from previous correspondence, Roosevelt feels Lodge’s letter to E. T. Colburn is acceptable and informs Lodge that he took up the submarine boat issue with Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Metcalf. The New York newspapers disparage Roosevelt’s speech. He asks for Lodge’s insight on a memorandum about Japan.
