Theodore Roosevelt writes Charles J. Bonaparte that he was “immensely struck” by the implications in the Archbishop of Mexico’s recent remarks. When asked to speak on the matter, Roosevelt thought it best “to do something, however inadequate, than nothing at all.” Roosevelt wishes President Wilson and the Secretary of State had allowed Secretary of War Garrison to take the “movement his way.”
