Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Joseph Choate that Germany should pay for its action about Louvain. This will be impossible under the neutrality of the Wilson administration. Roosevelt mentions that Jane Addams and her committee would like to forbid the export of arms to those involved in World War I, but Roosevelt believes those fighting Germany should have access to weapons.
