Theodore Roosevelt tells Professor Appelmann he should have immediately and publicly repudiated the statements of Professor Paul Rohrbach. He failed to do so and now his name is connected with Rohrbach. Rohrbach’s published letter amounted to treason and advised German Americans to vote in a manner that would prevent the United States from being prepared for war.
