ng the part played by the United

"eclras treaty
forbearance With Venezuela
Almost throu ghout President Roose-
Syelt's administration the course of
NeneZueia. conducted bv hn dictator
Castro, proved an occasion of nigh in
tolerable irritation; but although it
manly became necessary to break off
Il" diplomatic relations with that re-
pVoHc the course Of the Administers
non was tolerant to the last decree.
Nfh surprising forbearance, the Unit
ca states endured treatment which,
from more responsible power, must
nave been resented as insulting. and
rested content n tie conviction that
Castro's methods would ultimately de-
sttcv his dictatorship
he Roosevelt administration brought
about greatly increased cordialitv
IN the relations between this coun-
try and all tho republics of South
Amer4ca: In 1907 the Secretary Of
State, Eihu Root, made trip around
South America, visiting the capitals of
each state and explaining the good
wishes and unselfsh purposes of this
country. Remarkable success attended
the trip, and the results were far
reaching in their promotion Of a clear
er understanding and a greater faith
IN the disinterested friendship of the
United States
Only two quasi -belligerent acts are
to be recorded of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. An American citizen, one
Ion Perdicaris, having been taken cap
tive by the bandit Rasuli in Morocco
in loJ :
lean representative to secure "Perd-
caris alive or Raisuli dead" Perdicaris
was promptly delivered to the Amer
lean authorities, and respect for this
country was greatly increased in
Northern Africa. In the same year,
the evasive tactics Of Turkey having
exhausted the patience of the Depart
ment of State, fee, was sent to
Smyrna. The presence of the fleet ac-
compished every purpose.
No review of the Roosevelt admin
istration would be complete without
reference to the giant strides which
have been taken to reform the diplo-
matte and consular service of the
United States. beginning with an Ex-
ecutive order of November 10, 1905.
which applied the merit system in pro-
motions in both branches of the for
elgn service, one step after another
was taken to eliminate political prefer
ment and promote the efficiency of the
service.
Cuba and the Philippines
When Mr.. Roosevelt assumed the
office of President he pledged himself
to carry out the Mckinley policies, and
in no respect did he accomplish more
striking results than in the case Of
Cuba. He found Cuba still under the
military dictatorship rendered neces-
sary by the war with Spain. By the
end of May, 1902, eight months after
Mr.. Roosevelt took the oath Of office.
q national election had been held, and
Estrada Palma inaugurated as the first
President of Cuba. By September,
