Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. Y. Brinton
Theodore Roosevelt tells J. Y. Brinton that a declaration that the United States will not interfere with nor entangle itself in the political questions of any foreign state cannot be construed to prevent the United States from taking whatever action is deemed necessary under conventions it has “solemnly signed to prevent gross wrong doing between states.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. Y. Brinton
Theodore Roosevelt writes J. Y. Brinton, praising Governor Martin Grove Brumbaugh for passing an effective Child Labor Bill. He comments on the Lelong case, in which Roosevelt asserts that P. A. Lelong had “beyond all shadow of a doubt” elected to be a United States citizen. When an alien becomes a citizen in good faith, Roosevelt says, he would protect him in every way.
