Theodore Roosevelt does not believe there will be much outcry for the arbitration treaty. Senator Root admitted that he opposed the treaty in its proposed form but wanted to ease the fall of the treaty’s supporters. Roosevelt finds it a “grim comedy” that Canada rejected the reciprocity agreement but at least now the average man can no longer claim a lack of reciprocity is America’s fault.
