Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hugo Munsterberg

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hugo Munsterberg

Theodore Roosevelt has been told that President Wilson and William F. McCombs contacted Hugo Munsterberg regarding the hostility of German Americans towards the Wilson administration. The information came to Roosevelt from an outside source and he assures Munsterberg that he did not leak the information about Wilson’s communication. Roosevelt would like Edmund von Mach to know that he appreciated von Mach’s account of the significance of Kiao Chou (Jiaozhou) and he finds the threat to the “extension of civilization” to be a dreadful part of the war.

“And the waters were divided”

“And the waters were divided”

Woodrow Wilson, as Moses, stands on a rock with his left arm raised at the parting of the seas labeled “Republican Split,” through which a horde of Democrats labeled “Marshall, M’Combs, Bryan, Kern, Williams, O’Gorman, Harmon, Mack, Gore, Underwood, Clark, Watterson, [and] Harvey” escape the “Predatory Pharaohs” caught on the far shore as the sea closes between them. Caption: The walking is good to the Promised Land.
