SAYS ROOSEVELT
AIDED GERMANY
German Paper Says Former
President Favored Ger
man State in Brazil.

Amsterdam, Holland, Oct 3.-The
Frankfurter Zeitung publishes what it
asserts is the German foreign office
record Of a conversation on the South
American situation on February IS,
1903. between president Roosevelt and
the late baron Speck Won Sternberg,
the German ambassador.
In this conversation president
Roosevelt is quoted as having said he
thought the best guarantee for the
ameIioration Of South American con-
ditions would be the establishment of
a German state in South Brazil.
Col Roosevelt. in his luncheon
speech at Chicago said that in 1902.
when Germany proposed a tempo
rary'' occupation Of Venezuela he sent
for the German ambassador and told
him that this Venezuelan business
has been going on long enough and I
cannot afford 10 let IL get TO a point
where IL will cause trouble for this
country He asked the ambassador
what Germany meant by temporary
possession and on the ambassador re-
plying that he did not feel at liberty
10 discuss such an important question,
he delivered the following ultimatum
Tell your government that in ten
days il must arbitrate the matter or I
VIII send Dewey down there"
Meant War for Germany.
The German ambassador. according
to Col Roosevelt said he could not
send such a message, saying he did
not think the president knew what il
would mean President Roosevelt re-
piled that If it meant war, Germany
nnnan-n -
could not fight the United States. The
president then ordered admiral Dewey
to be ready 10 sail on an hours no.
tice.
The ambassador again visited pres
ident Roosevelt . week later and said
that he had not dared send the mes
sage and the president told him that
he had ordered Dewey 70 sail within
IS hours The ambassador said this
would be an awful thing for the Unit
ed States. but president Roosevelt re-
tOrted that IL would be more awful for
Germany. Within 80 hours the am
bassador again returned 10 the presi-
dent and informed him that Germany
would arbitrate.
Denies FavOrinE German State.
Oyster Bay. y. Y, Oct Col The
odore Roosevelt issued a denial Of a
statement attributed to him by the
Frankfurter Zeituug which, accord
ing to dispatch from Amsterdam,
quoted him as having expressed ap-
proval Of the German plan TO colon
ize a state in southern Brazil in a
conversation with the German ambas-
sador while he was president in 1903.
Col ROOsevelts statement follows:
The statement is not correct. I
said that believed the Germans would
be as admirable immigrants in Brazil
as shown to be in the United States,
but that OF course, Germany must no
more try to establish any control over
her immigrants IN Brazil than she did
in the United States"
