John St. Loe Strachey is annoyed with the article’s misrepresentation of Theodore Roosevelt’s policy on arbitration treaties that appeared in the Spectator while he was on holiday and apologizes for it. Strachey approves of a general arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States but not general treaties with the world at large. He recently stayed with Andrew Carnegie and found his illusions about arbitration “a positive nightmare.”
