How did Roosevelt compel Germany to retreat from several U.S. interests most peaceably?
"I have endeavored to show him that I was sincerely friendly to him and Germany. Moreover, where I have forced him to give way I have been sedulously anxious to build a bridge of gold for him, and to give him the satisfaction of feeling that his dignity and reputation in the face of the world were safe. In other words, where I have had to take part of the kernel from him, I have been anxious that he should have all the shell possible, and have that shell painted any way he wished."
