|
|
at the time, the youngest (43 years) president in hist ory.
|
|
|
|
The president saw himself as a man of the middle who would meditate the
|
|
struggle between capital and labor. He said that business must be
|
|
protected against itself and he tended to favor regulatory commissions that
|
|
provided nonpartisan supervisi on by experts of business practices. As

|
|
for the interstate commerce commission. He was also instrumental in the

|
|
attitude toward the poor and towards the labor movement was that of an
|
|
enlightened conservative. He supported many labor demands such as shorter
|
|
hours for women and children, employers' liability laws and limitations on
|
|
the use of injunctions against workers in labor disputes.

Theodore Roosevelt said, "There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man
|
|
who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at
|
|
all. We have ro om but for on language here and that is the English
|
|
language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as
|
|
Americans, of American nationality; we have room for but one soul loyalty,
|
|
and that is loyalty to the American people."
|
|
|
|
Ro l ed the United States into continous armed interventions in the
|
|
caribbean. In 1906 an insurrection in Cuba caused the United States to
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
