Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick A. Reiter

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick A. Reiter

Germany was the first belligerent nation to violate American rights and German violations are of much greater consequence then the British interfering with American trade and mail. The United States failed to effectively protest after the sinking of the Lusitania which has limited protests of subsequent, smaller offenses. Roosevelt sends Frederick A. Reiter a copy of his book, Fear God and Take Your Own Part, and directs him to several passages. He has taken a stand for Belgium and wants each nation to be treated according to its conduct.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick A. Reiter

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick A. Reiter

Theodore Roosevelt has denounced Germany and been lenient with Great Britain because the British have interfered with commerce, but the Germans have killed hundreds of American citizens. A minor property offense can be ignored until action has been taken against murder. If he were president, Roosevelt would put a stop to the German campaign against American lives and then force the British to comply with the laws of war.
