President Roosevelt is pleased with Henry White’s news on the Alaska business. The Canadians have published some ugly articles that might influence English opinion. It will be unfortunate if the Commission is deadlocked but even worse for the Canadians and English. If an agreement cannot be reached, Roosevelt will treat the disputed territory as American and forbid all future negotiations.
