Uruguay has requested to become an American protectorate in order to guarantee its independence. This is not possible but shows that South American hatred for the United States is overstated. Secretary of State Hay gave Ambassador Choate permission to show the canal treaty draft to Senator Lodge. Hay congratulates President Roosevelt on the high degree of public support he has received.
