Theodore Roosevelt met with William Cary Sanger on Sunday and Sanger was interested in Archie Roosevelt’s proposals. He suggests that Sanger is the person that Archie should work with. Roosevelt read an article by Sanger’s son and agrees with much of it. However, he disagrees with guaranteeing the independence of the Philippines and that Central and South American countries should become guarantors of the Monroe doctrine.
