Letter from John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt

The ambassadors of France and Russia have submitted identical memorandums to the State Department. They agree with the principles outlined in the English-Japanese Convention drafted January 30, 1902, which maintains the independence of China and Korea while encouraging international commerce. The allied governments reserve the right to consult if the safety of their interests are threatened. Secretary of State Hay encloses a suggested reply.
