Theodore Roosevelt agrees to give Senator Lodge’s article to the editors of The Outlook. He enjoyed seeing Secretary of the Navy George von Lengerke Meyer and encourages Lodge to meet with Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. Roosevelt expects the arbitration treaty to pass, be very popular, and then be repudiated if it ever needs to come into effect.
