Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid
President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador Reid for some clippings he has sent, and says that he finds Sydney Brooks’ criticisms of American policy in the Philippines to be expected, but finds the current situation preferable to the British administration of Malaysia. Roosevelt also finds the distinctions drawn by The London Times between treatments of Japanese workers at the hands of Americans and Australians to “have a certain comic side.” Roosevelt cannot say what Secretary of War William H. Taft will do, but he hopes Taft will come directly home after traveling through Russia.
