Theodore Roosevelt welcomes representatives of the Russian government and declares support for the “young giant among nations.” He says in the past there has been discord in American opinion between an appreciation for the Russian people and disdain for the country’s tyrannical government. Roosevelt calls for continued work by the new Russian government and aid from the United States during the war.
