Letter from Oscar S. Straus to Theodore Roosevelt
Oscar S. Straus is surprised that President Roosevelt read his interview with James B. Morrow of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Straus’s purpose in doing the interview was to “set right some of the exaggerated ideas some people have about the Jews.” Straus’s travels in France, Great Britain, and Germany have convinced him that Roosevelt’s efforts in the United States are garnering the United States respect throughout Europe. Straus says that the American people will insist on Roosevelt seeking a third term.
