Nothing to arbitrate

Nothing to arbitrate

A Jewish Morning Journal editorial discusses the issue of Russia not allowing any Jews into the country even with American passports, and Theodore Roosevelt’s suggestion this be taken up in arbitration at the Hague. The author calls Roosevelt a friend of Jewish people, but questions if this is worth pursing since they believe Russia to be unreasonable and uncivilized, other officials have tried and failed to resolve this issue, and if the Hague were to side with Russia then the U.S. would be compelled to accept it without complaint.

Theodore Roosevelt reminds French Ambassador Jusserand about a meeting they had with former German Ambassador Hermann Speck von Sternburg.

Roosevelt would like Jusserand to send Roosevelt a copy of what he wrote. He wishes Jusserand and his wife, Elise Richards Jusserand, would visit them, and says it was nice having George Bakhmeteff and his wife, Mary Beale Bakhemeff, over for lunch.
