Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Charles Francis Adams

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Charles Francis Adams

Senator Lodge responds to statements made by Charles Francis Adams and discusses the advancement of societies that have been under or are currently under the possession of the United States. Lodge agrees with Adams about the important role white societies have in helping non-white societies “advance.” Lodge disagrees, however, with Adams’s assessment of Secretary of War William H. Taft, who Lodge says has not at all exploited the Philippines, but actually devoted many years of his life to help “elevate” the people of the Philippines. Lodge ends by commenting that the administration has also been trying to “take charge” of the Dominican Republic to help them pay their debts.

Letter from John St. Loe Strachey to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John St. Loe Strachey to Theodore Roosevelt

John St. Loe Strachey is in favor of amnesty and does not think the government will be harsh in the matter, although he is not in favor of giving back the vote. Strachey also approves of President Roosevelt’s firm stance on Cuba, as it shows that he is not bound to his party simply because he is part of it. Some Americans have told Strachey that because he, a British editor, praises Roosevelt so highly, Roosevelt must be pro-British and a bad American. Strachey offers to start being more critical of Roosevelt in his paper. Finally, Strachey tells Roosevelt about a visit from Corinne and Douglas Robinson, and says that he and his wife hope to visit the United States soon and would like to visit Roosevelt.
