NEW YORK, March S.-What pur-

Roosevelt wrote to Sir Harry II. John
son, the British Traveller and scientist
and student of the negro question.
In the letter Col. Roosevelt, the then
President, is quoted in part as follows
with reference to the recent trouble in
the black republic:

Hayt. OF course, we ought to, but tins
people of ours simply do not understand
how things are outside our own

understand the situation and to back up
the action; and to do that | have to
get the facts wildly before them and
clearly before them.
In Panama, Cuba, Santo Domingo
and Puerto Rico it needed months or
years of preparation before we could get
our people to see things straight, and
the worst of it is that the educated
northeaSterners are not merely blinded,
but often inadvertently blind to what
goes on.

seven years. We ought to have inter

do something of the same kind that we
are doing in Cuba, Santo Domingo, or
