Elihu Root discusses Theodore Roosevelt’s views on American foreign policy. Root argues that Roosevelt wanted to maintain peace, and that he always linked peace with justice. Root asserts that Roosevelt recognized that in order for the United States to be treated with respect it had to command that respect, and that Roosevelt used instruments of power such as the Great White Fleet to both preserve the peace and gain the respect of other nations.
