Letter from Emory C. White to Theodore Roosevelt
Emory C. White is an American businessman with interests in South America. He writes to inform President Roosevelt of the hostility of Germans in South America towards the United States. The Germans are only there to make money in South America and talk against the Americans, trying to trample the Monroe Doctrine. The prevailing opinion is that German trade will continue to increase and eventually lead to colonization, even if that leads to war with the South American republics and the United States. The German situation in Venezuela, with the Germans trying to get the payment of a debt, is only a means to increase German influence in the Americas.
