Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to W. Cameron Forbes

Subject(s): International relations, Mexico, Philippines, Taft, William H. (William Howard), 1857-1930, Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924

Theodore Roosevelt writes that if W. Cameron Forbes is ever in New York he will give him his reasons in full. He says William H. Taft is just as much to blame for the affairs in Mexico as President Woodrow Wilson and since the American people seem to support them, he does not feel America should keep the Philippines.
