XV Congres Universel de la Paix

The fifteenth Universal Peace Conference will be meeting in Milan from September 15, 1906 to September 22. There is a great deal of hope for the promise of peace in the wake of the Russo-Japanese War and the the Algeciras Conference, as well as the Third Pan-American Conference. Nations are no longer as belligerent towards each other as they once were, leading to an increase in trade, which in turn shows the necessity for international cooperation. Many nations recognize the need for peace, led by the recent British proposal for an international reduction of armaments.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley

Theodore Roosevelt writes Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley to express his thoughts on an article by G. Lowes Dickinson. Roosevelt believes that the way Dickinson is trying to develop an international league will not work. Such a league must be based on military force. To refuse to fight results in less peace, not more. The United States should have offered help to Belgium to maintain peace. He does agree countries should come together on account of their race or desire to unite.

Letter from Montagu White to Frederick Courteney Selous

Montagu White met with Governor Roosevelt and found him to be sympathetic to the Boers. However, Roosevelt did not think he would have an opportunity to assist those who are working for peace and conciliation. White does not regret having come to the United States but is finding it difficult to imagine a committee that would bring pressure on the administration to work for peace.

Letter from Montagu White to Frederick Courteney Selous

Montagu White is glad that Frederick Courteney Selous is answering Governor Roosevelt’s questions about “the South African difficulty.” White believes that American public opinion is growing in favor of the Boers, and that those who wish to preserve the special friendship with Great Britain should push for peace in order to prevent anti-British feeling. White thinks that if the Boers lose their independence, Britain will lose South Africa.
