John St. Loe Strachey understands President Roosevelt’s objections to arbitration in the Alaska boundary dispute but he supports arbitration especially in light of America’s demand for arbitration in the Venezuelan debt crisis. Strachey wants to avoid a quarrel with the United States but feels that he must support Canada in any conflict.
