Click on image to zoom in
Henry W. Taft concurs with Elihu Root about a possible visit to Cuba by Secretary of War Taft. Root is worried that Cubans would see such a visit as pressure on their government to pass certain legislation. The United States has denounced a proposed bond issue in Cuba and that is all that can be done at the moment. If Taft were to visit, it could be seen as a military threat.
