Text of Theodore Roosevelt’s speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize on May 5, 1910. Roosevelt says that he will keep the medal, but that he will put the prize money toward a commission to study industrial peace. Roosevelt asserts that there should be treaties of arbitration between nations and that the world court at the Hague should be further developed. Roosevelt concludes by arguing for a limitation on naval armaments and for establishing an international organization devoted to maintaining international peace.
A photograph of Roosevelt in Norway to accept the prize is found at the beginning of the speech.
