Irish Americans--Political activity
Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Cecil Spring Rice
An article Theodore Roosevelt wrote on exercising the naval right of search will be published soon and it generally follows Ambassador Spring Rice’s opinion. If he were president, Roosevelt would not let anyone exercise the right of search but he would also have intervened on behalf of Belgium and prevented Americans from violating neutrality. Roosevelt views President Wilson as a timid, unscrupulous, coldblooded, and selfish man. He believes Wilson is attempting to keep the support of pacifists and placate the German and Irish vote. Eventually, Great Britain and France will need American help and Wilson will become the “righteous peace-maker.” Wilson’s current misconduct will then be forgotten.

Lodge feels that the phrase will make the treaty safe but also very limited in scope. The Democrats are troubled by the treaty and Lodge believes that they are being influenced by opposition from Irish and German Americans.
