Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Max Farrand
Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Max Ferrand that the mobilization of the nation’s resources and strength is a prime necessity. Roosevelt says the country cannot have preparedness for war unless it has preparedness for peace. Roosevelt thinks the initiative, referendum, recall, direct primary, etc., have not worked as well as expected because radicals insisted upon applying them in an extreme and ill-advised manner. Roosevelt has pointed out in speeches that the proposed reforms would merely give the people a chance to accomplish their purpose, if they had a serious purpose.
