Letter from George von Lengerke Meyer to Theodore Roosevelt
Ambassador Meyer notifies President Roosevelt of the social problems unfolding in Russia at the prospect of granting concessions to the Jewish people. The proposed bill would allow every Jewish person who finishes his military service to move freely throughout the country, although Jewish people would still not be permitted to own land outside the Pale of Settlement. The “Jewish problem” is a difficult one for the Russian Cabinet to solve. Meyer thinks it will not be settled by foreign intervention, but by the country’s financial necessities.
