Theodore Roosevelt regrets possibly hurting Dr. Appleman’s feelings but Appleman should publicly repudiate the views of Professor Rohrbach. The published letter from Rohrbach called for German Americans to oppose military readiness in favor of the interests, and possible victory, of Germany and Japan. Appleman said nothing and needs to publicly announce that the interests of the United States come first.
