Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William E. Childs
Theodore Roosevelt responds to the idea of having a commission propose a peace treaty to warring powers. Roosevelt states that such a peace movement would make the commission look foolish; and, although he does not want to be quoted on the matter, Roosevelt explains why the treaty would be worthless and the movement would be no different than the current peace proposals.
