Excerpt from the book: "In the issue of The Outlook for June 18 there was a quotation from a letter of an Anti-Imperialist correspondent, who, in speaking of Egypt and the Philippines, stated that the proper course to pursue was to protect countries of this nature by international agreement, the writer citing in support of his theory the way in which many small powers had their territories guaranteed by international agreement. The trouble is in the confusion of ideas which results in trying to apply the same principle to two totally different classes of cases. A State like Switzerland or Holland differs only in size from the greatest of civilized nations, and in everything except size stands at least on a level with them. Such a State is absolutely competent to preserve order within its own bounds, to execute substantial justice, and to secure the rights of foreigners. All that is necessary, therefore, is to guarantee it against aggression; and when the great Powers have thus guaranteed it, all covenanting to protect it from the aggression of any one of their own number, their duty is done and the needs of the situation completely met. In such a State the people themselves guarantee stability, order, liberty, and protection for the rights of others. There is not the slightest need of interfering with them, of seeking to develop them, of protecting them from themselves. The needs of civilization and humanity are sufficiently met by protecting them from outside aggression."
Autorenporträt
Theodore Roosevelt, commonly known as Teddy or T. R., was born on October 27, 1858, in New York City at the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site. He served as the 26th president of the United States from September 14, 1901, to March 4, 1909. He was a member of the Republican Party, was known for his progressive policies, including trust-busting, conservation efforts, and the establishment of national parks. Before becoming president, Roosevelt had a long and varied political career. He served as the 33rd governor of New York, a position he held from 1899 to 1900. His leadership in New York helped catapult him to national prominence. He also served as vice president under McKinley from 1901 until becoming president. Roosevelt remained active in public life, running again for president in 1912 as a third-party candidate for the Progressive Party, although he did not win. He died on January 6, 1919, at the age of 60, at his home in Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Cove Neck, New York. Roosevelt's legacy continues to be celebrated for his contributions to American politics, foreign policy, and conservation.
