Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Bryce

Subject(s): Addams, Jane, 1860-1935

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Viscount Bryce for his friendly response. Roosevelt encloses two articles he has written since the sinking of the Lusitania and congratulates Bryce on his work regarding German attacks. Roosevelt expresses his dismay toward the American “Pontius-Pilate-like attitude of neutrality.” He concludes that he does not have the patience to discuss pacifists such as Jane Addams.
