Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Crane
President Roosevelt has been surprised at the Catholic hostility to a settlement of the friars matter in the Philippines. However, Filipino Catholics and American Catholics familiar with the Philippines support the administration’s actions. Negotiations with the Holy See are ongoing to determine what will be done with the friars and their land. Roosevelt insists that fair play and religious freedom are guiding all of his actions regarding the friars and the Philippines.
