Theodore Roosevelt does not understand how Julian Street can criticize Senator Eugene Hale so vehemently without also criticizing President Woodrow Wilson and his administration, who are refusing to prepare the country’s military and people for war. Members of the military who advocate for preparedness and attempt to prepare do so against the feeling of the President and may arouse his hostility against them. Roosevelt likens the present conditions to those under Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, but he believes the current peace-at-any-price sentiment is worse.
