Robert S. Bradley quotes a statement Theodore Roosevelt supposedly made before the House Committee of Inquiry regarding Germany’s governmental regulation of the potash industry. He believes that Roosevelt was either misquoted or is greatly misinformed about the matter. Having made the basic contracts that initially caused the “potash controversy,” Bradley discusses the situation in depth and includes additional materials.
