Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Moses H. Clemens

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Moses H. Clemens

Theodore Roosevelt believes that Turkey’s persecution of Armenians has been “horrible beyond description,” and sympathizes with Moses H. Clemens’ call for the Wilson administration to intervene. Roosevelt hopes that Clemens and his committee will also advocate for the Belgians, whom Roosevelt believes are suffering just as much after the invasion of the Germans in World War I. Roosevelt doubts that an ultimatum would be effective in protecting Armenians because the Wilson administration would not back it with the necessary force, and Roosevelt also believes that if such action is taken for Armenians, ultimatums should be given on behalf of the Belgians and Americans in Mexico as well.
