Telegram from Emperor William II to Theodore Roosevelt

Emperor William II assures President Roosevelt that everything Andrew Carnegie heard in London was “foul and filthy lies” to harm relations between Germany and the United States. He says that King Edward VII disapproves of the Hague Peace Conference, and fears that it will increase “friction.” Emperor William also disapproves of it, but insists that Germany is not building its naval strength with “aggressive tendencies.”
