Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Coe Isaac Crawford

Theodore Roosevelt writes to Senator Crawford about a pair of foreign relations questions, and tells him that while he does not wish to be quoted, Crawford can share Roosevelt’s views with other progressives. Roosevelt believes that the treaty with Honduras should go ahead. While countries that develop strong governments like Chile or Argentina should be treated as equals by the United States, some Central American nations with “little disorderly governments” need “a steadying hand.” He has hesitations, on the other hand, about the arbitration treaty with Great Britain, which he lays out.
