Ambassador Tower writes to President Roosevelt about a confidential interview he had with Emperor William II, particularly with regard to the situation in China and the Far East. The Emperor feels that Roosevelt’s attitudes towards China have been helpful for all nations’ interests in China. The Emperor had been formally approached by France regarding a cooperation between Germany, France, and England “for the purpose of establishing permanent control within Chinese territory.” He declared that he would not be part of such an arrangement, and that Germany was in favor of an open door policy. The Emperor believes that immediate danger has been put off by Roosevelt’s actions and by Secretary of State John Hay’s note.
