Abstract

The Week
February 24, 1916 issue

add to cart   close window

In the extraordinarily muddled situation that has been developed in the matter of the submarine issue, one fact seems at last definitely established--that the United States will adhere to its position of the past in regard to merchantmen equipped with purely defensive armament, and will accordingly not assent to the policy announced by the Teutonic Empires, to be put into effect at the close of month. Lawyer Elihu Root led a powerful attack upon President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his speech at the Republican State Convention in New York City which left the shrillest assaults of Roosevelt looking cheap.
