Theodore Roosevelt agrees with the central argument in John Appleton Stewart’s paper, but disagrees with him regarding Central and South America. He believes the United States has done more harm in that region, especially in Mexico, by failing to insist on “our rights…and…their duties,” than by being too overbearing.
