F. V. Greene is pleased that Theodore Roosevelt likes the final form of his book. He discusses several changes he made to the final draft and the reception it has received so far.

Greene notes that he hopes the treaty will pass but believes it is important to maintain readiness in case diplomacy must be backed up with force.
