Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge
President Roosevelt tells Senator Lodge, who is serving on the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, that the United States can yield on the Portland Canal Islands as long as Lord Alverstone agrees with them on the line being drawn around the heads of the inlets. Roosevelt believes the contention regarding where the line should be drawn is a result of inaccurate maps of the area. He asserts that the British have “no case whatever” and that Alverstone should be satisfied with the very minimum. Roosevelt is glad that Lodge, Secretary of War Elihu Root, and former Senator George Turner of Washington feel the same way.
