Eugene A. Philbin informs William Loeb that he has heard that a representative from the English government will soon visit President Roosevelt “with a view of obtaining from him an adverse expression of opinion as to the administration of the affairs of the Congo Free State by the Belgium government.” Philbin expresses his opinion that this is a religious matter with which Roosevelt should avoid involvement. He also writes about Consul Edwin J. Sullivan in Turkey, who has attempted to ask Philbin to be a reference in order to secure a Consul post in Dublin, but of whom Philbin does not approve.

Francis M. Carroll examines Theodore Roosevelt’s opinions on the question of home rule for Ireland during World War I, and demonstrates how John Quinn, a prominent Irish-American, used arguments Roosevelt made in an August 1917 letter to George Russell in his book on the home rule question. Carroll examines the state of Irish-British relations during World War I and looks at Roosevelt’s correspondence with those involved in the home rule issue. The article reprints in side by side columns Roosevelt’s August 1917 letter to George Russell and portions of Quinn’s The Irish Home-Rule Convention, demonstrating that Quinn used much of Roosevelt’s language and arguments in his own work.
