Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles McCarthy
Theodore Roosevelt is pleased that Charles McCarthy liked what he said about John James Blaine. Roosevelt doubts McCarthy’s claim that he is popular, as he believes citizens of German descent will resent his attitude about Belgium. Roosevelt thinks if Americans really believe in world righteousness and the nation’s duty to do something for international decency, then the country is not to be excused if it fails to protect against Germany’s action toward Belgium. Roosevelt felt it was his duty to act, although he regrets having to do so. As to civil and internal affairs, Roosevelt says he will fight for the things for which the country stands just as long as he has breath.
