Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Lloyd George

Subject(s): Coalition governments, Diplomacy, Great Britain, War, Wars, World War (1914-1918)

Theodore Roosevelt congratulates David Lloyd George on the action that was taken to get a coalition cabinet. Roosevelt says that more than anything, he wishes to congratulate Lloyd George on what he has done in association with World War I. Roosevelt thinks that when the war is over, Lloyd George will have to take up the part of dealing with many matters, but the prime business at present is for Lloyd George to save his country, and Roosevelt admires the straightforward manner with which Lloyd George has devoted himself to this task.
