Letter from Orville Hitchcock Platt to Theodore Roosevelt
Senator Platt has just learned from Reverend Smyth, a man opposed to the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, that Assistant Secretary of State Loomis will be discussing that issue in public. Platt strongly cautions President Roosevelt against allowing Loomis to publicly speak on Roosevelt’s policy in Panama as his previous speech was “inappropriate and harmful.”
