Pages from the London Times

Two pieces in the London Times report and comment on President Roosevelt’s Annual Message to Congress. They particularly focus on what Roosevelt said about trusts, combinations, tariff reform, and the army and the navy. In the message, Roosevelt also invoked the Monroe Doctrine and vowed that the United States would leave alone European powers that did not seek to acquire territory in South America. One of the pieces draws comparisons between the current message and the one Roosevelt gave last year.

Those around Roosevelt are political men, and he needs to transcend the politics to lead in a moral way. A recent speech did not go directly to the point, according to Rainsford, disappointing him and others who expected more.
