Andrew Carnegie writes to say that he has received President Roosevelt’s “splendid letter,” which is to be read at the National Arbitration and Peace Congress. Carnegie expresses concern, however, regarding Roosevelt’s weak point about both sides in a dispute asserting “righteousness,” which, Carnegie believes, inevitably leads to war. Carnegie wonders if Roosevelt has time to alter that point to take emphasis away from “righteousness” and towards the idea of strength and reflection. He also notes that the people are rallying around Roosevelt, now more than ever.
