Exemption of Private Property at Sea in Roosevelt Message
President Roosevelt urges Congress to back a principle from McKinley on exempting private property at sea from capture or destruction in war. He cites international law, interparliamentary unions, and diplomacy with China and Turkey, and notes economic and naval implications for peace and commerce. He also discusses Alaska, public lands, forestry, and the Panama canal transit treaty.
