John St. Loe Strachey relays to President Roosevelt an account of his trip to France and Germany.

Strachey is concerned about the warlike nature of the Germans. He relays his thoughts on some of the French politicians and theologians whom he met; he found the French people and politicians generally to be pacifistic.

Memorandum about Morocco

Memorandum about Morocco

It is reported that Great Britain has offered to enter into an alliance with France against Germany. This may appeal to France if she cannot come to an arrangement with Germany regarding Morocco. Although France has offered Germany a “sphere of interest” in Morocco, Germany has pledged to stand by the Sultan of Morocco. President Roosevelt is asked to suggest that a conference would be the best means to finding a peaceful solution to the “Morocco question.”

Letter from Charlemagne Tower to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Charlemagne Tower to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Tower relays the telegraphed response of the German Emperor to President Roosevelt’s letter. The Emperor is in full agreement with the President with respect to peace between Russia and Japan. The Emperor had thought that England and France might work against Roosevelt because French foreign minister Théophile Delcassé had a separate plan for peace that would indemnify not only Russia and Japan with Chinese lands, but also Britain and France as the price of their intervention.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid

President Roosevelt writes to Ambassador Reid about ongoing negotiations between France and Germany about Morocco. Beginning with background information about the situation, with Germany wishing to call a conference to reform the government of Morocco—in opposition to France—Roosevelt then includes the text of numerous letters and telegrams in English and French from various parties related to this issue. Roosevelt says he will send copies of this letter to Henry White and George von Lengerke Meyer, and will show it to Secretary of State Elihu Root, as well, but no one else, as it is to be strictly confidential. He closes with some personal remarks to Reid, responding to a previous letter from him, and thanking him for presenting Milla Shonts and her daughters. The envelope appended at the end suggests that this is the copy of the letter which was sent to Meyer.
