Roosevelt was the US president in 1906. He did send the "Great White Fleet" around the world though on a "show of force" to the "Yellow Race", the Japanese (hence the white painted battleships) under the disquise of a "around the world good will cruise."
The Japanese had just defeated the Russians in 1905, thus the Great White Fleet show of force cruise. This was to let the "Yellow Race" know that the "White Race" was still a power to be reckened with. See website (or the dictionary) for further information on the "Yellow Peril" of the early 20th century.
