This action of President | Roosevelt did not stand alone, At the outbreak of the Russo.Japancss war 18 months before President Roose- welt had been so impressed with the possibility that France or Germany, or both, might go to the support of Russia against Japan that according to his own o ent, in & brief let. ter which I have seen, he warned both Germany and France that if they went to the support of Russia he would go to the support of Japan and ‘take whatever steps necessary for her pro- tection.’ “It will be recalled that in the first Anglo-Japanese alllance signed in 1902 this was the obligation which had been assumed by England. We may, therefors, say that this warning which eame personally from President Roosevelt to France and Germany had only the value which attaches to the personal declaration of the president of the United States, nevertheless the effect of it was to make the United Btates assume substantially the same yesponsibility toward Japan which England had assumed in the first al- llance. “At the baginning of 1904, as 1is elearly revealed in the private papers of President Roosevelt as well as in the contemporary literature of the time, Europe was dangerously close to the brink of a world war. France was allied to Russia, England was al- 1fed to Japan. Four powers were pair- ed. Germany had urged Russia into the war with Japan and her future policy was then a matter of doubt and grave concern. “When President Roosevelt threw in the weight of his influence by his warning to France and Germany, he localized the confiict to the Far East £nd quite possibly prevented the out- break of a European conflict. The gituation in the summer of 1905 was eueh as to make it seem quite plaus- fhie that it President Roosevelt had rot made this engagement with Japan and England it would have been far mere difficult and perhaps impossible for him to mediate the peace of Ports: niouth a month later.” “This document INJURTES PROVE FATAL.
