Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt
Ambassador to Italy Henry White recaps key aspects of the Algeciras Conference for President Roosevelt. White notes that American influence was well-received, that America asserted its economic rights while maintaining its neutrality in continental affairs, and that this should silence Roosevelt’s isolationist critics in the Senate. The Germans were unable to disturb Anglo-French unity, and they should treat the Italians with more respect if they wish to preserve the Triple Alliance. White relates his very positive interactions with the Spanish ambassador, noting that relations have improved since the recent war. He also praises his fellow American delegate, Samuel R. Gummere, America’s first ambassador to Morocco.
