Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt was pleased to receive T. St. John Gaffney’s letter, and explains his feelings about a recent arbitration treaty. While he did not object to its amended form, Roosevelt admits he was lukewarm about it, and would have objected strenuously if it meant the United States gave up its rights or relied on its armed forces less for its defense. He hopes Gaffney will be able to visit him in Washington.
