Senate Against its Conscience to Appjove Treaties— Believes Treaties are Hostile to Honor ot United States, By Associated Press. New York, Dec. 30.—Why Theodore Rosevelt will not attend the banquet tonight of the citizens peace committee with President Taft as guest of honor, was made public today in correspond ence between Mr. Roosevelt and Mil lard J. Bloomer, executive secretary of the coinniittee. "I ca,nuot permit the use of my name for that citizens peace banquet, ’ Mr. Koosevelt’s letter reads, “simply be cause I do not know what that banquet is for. if it is meant to overawe the senate a^id force that body against its conscience to support tlie unamended tieaties which the senate committee on foreign relations has shown by un- answearable argument to be hostile to the honor and interest of the American people, then I am not in sympathy with ^u. For ihstance, if you propose to support the arbitration treaties then 1 think that you are not merely wrong but that you are engaged In what is essentially an unworthy, ^nd, however unconsciously, a hypocritical move against the interest of peace and against the honor and ‘interest of the United States and civilization. “If you intend to support these trea ties, howevei’, with the amendments introduced by Senator Root and Lodge, then you are all right, because you ^are suporting what is not a very important but still sincere effort to make things a little better.” Ml'. Roosevelt’s letter then contin ues: "Now if you do not believe the ques tions 1 have named (the Monroe doc trine, state bond question, America’s right to abrogate 'the Rusian treaty of 18:32, question of allowing unlimited Asiatic' immigration into the United States) should be arbitrated, then you occupy an impro])er and, from the na tional standpoint, a dishonorable po sition, if you desire to see these trea ties ratified without amendment. “Of course, if you do believe in ar bitrating all questions of national hon or and interest, including tlie Monroe doctrine, then you are justified in .wish ing to pass the unamended treaties; although I think that in such case you will occupy a very foolish and unpa triotic iK)sition. But if you do not be lieve in arbitration these and similar matters then you occupy a wholly in defensible position in asking that we pass in unamended form treaties which unquestionably pledge us as a nation to arbitrate tliem.” Mr. Bloomer replied to this letter on December 13, stating that the form o1 invitation to the banquet had been changed so as not to include the rati fication of the proposed peace treaties, adding that the banquet In his opinion should be demonstrated for a broad, honest peace movement. *To. this Col onel Roosevelt replied under date ol Decembr 16 in part as follows; “As you state and understand the movement I am entirely in sympathy with it. That is, I am in favor of a broad, honest .peace movement in line with the traditiona’l policy of this coun try of good will and fair treatment for all the nations of mankind.” In replying to another letter of Mr. Bloompr, written in answer to the above.
