Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Winthrop Chanler

In the next issue of Metropolitan Magazine, Theodore Roosevelt goes after German Americans “without gloves.” If the United States goes to war with Germany, he believes he could raise enough men of German ancestry to “put down all the traitorous citizens at home and also fight the Germans abroad.” Roosevelt is feeling warlike and thinks there is “good fighting material” in the United States.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Winthrop Chanler

Theodore Roosevelt’s correspondence has become a serious nuisance and he can only see one letter in ten. He might be out of touch with the “present trends of thought and feeling” but people continue to think he can help them. However, he is utterly helpless and it is foolish for him to try to help. Roosevelt describes President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan as a “wretched pair” and is saddened that they are to lead the country during a crisis. He believes the nation must be ready to “live dangerously when a great ideal demands such a life.”
