Secretary of War Root is concerned about Catholic reaction to Governor General of the Philippines William H. Taft’s negotiations with the Vatican regarding the removal of the friars from the Philippines. Root believes that a great deal is being accomplished in Rome and that U.S. Catholic complaints are veiled attempts to halt negotiations. He hopes that Archbishop Ireland recognizes the benefit of such negotiations and elects to address the concerns of American Catholics accordingly.
