Roosevelt on pacifism and national existence sparks debate
Theodore Roosevelt's paper on social values and national existence was read by Edward A. Ross before the American Sociological Society in Washington. He warned that militaristic nations threaten peaceful neighbors and cited Belgium, Persia, Russia, China, Korea, and Armenia to illustrate historical lessons. He likened modern figures David Starr Jordan and Henry Ford to past merchants and philosophers, arguing against appeasers and emotional philanthropists who promote ease over risk. The discussion contrasted pacifist theory with the need to check aggressors to protect moral values and national survival.
