ROOSEVELT THREAT
IN 1906 RECALLED
Warning. to France and Ger
I many Localized Russo
Japanese War. ~
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. &c
wILL1AMST0WN, Mass. August
7.-Dr Tyler Dennett OF Washington,
speaking here today at an open con-
ference, declared that President
Roosevelt was. perhaps, the first
American statesman to perceive
clearly that the Far East question
is largely a phase of European poll
tics and that the weight of his in
fuence in a warning Torrance and
Germany quite possibly prevented
European conflict of world magnitude.
DR.. bennett also stated that there
existed in. 1908 IAN agreed memo
randum," of which a photostat was
in his possession, the effect of which
was to place the United States DUR
ing the Roosevelt administration as
almost an unsigned member of the
second Anglo-JapaneSe alliance.
Threat To Aid Japan
This document was approved by
President Roosevelt less than" tive
of the terms of the second Anglo
Japanese alliance and just before the
opening of the Portsmouth peace
conference. This action 'of~President
Roosevelt did not stand alone. At the
outbreak of the Russo Japanese war
eighteen months before President
Roosevelt had been so impressed with
the possibility that France or Ger.
many. or both, might go to the sup.
port of Russia against Japan that
brief letter which / 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 protection
at will be recalled that in the first
Anglo Japanese alliance. signed in
1902. this was the obligation which
had been assumed by England. We
may, therefore, say that this warn
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 70
make the United States assume SUBJ
stantially the same responsibility toward
the Japanese which England had as
sumed in the first alliance.
Near to World War.
AT the beginning OF 1904, as is
clearly revealed in the private pa
pers of President Roosevelt as well
as in the cotemporary literature of
the time. Europe was dangerously
close to the brink of world war.
France was allied to Russia, England
was allied to the japanese. -Four
powers were paired, Germany had
urged Russia into the war with ia
pan and her future policy was then .
matter Of doubt and grave concern.
When President Roosevelt threw
in the weight of his influence by his
warning to France and 6ermany ne
localized the conflict to the Far East
and quite possibly. prevented the out
break of a European conflict. The
situation in the Summer OF 1905 was
such as to make It seem quite plausi.
BILE that if President Roosevelt had
not made this engagement with ia
pan and England it would have been
far more difficult and perhaps impos-
sible for him to mediate the peace OF
Portsmouth a month later"
