Straus, Oscar Solomon

▪ United States statesman
born Dec. 23, 1850, Otterberg, Bavaria [Germany]
died May 3, 1926, New York, N.Y., U.S.

      the first Jewish U.S. Cabinet member (1906–09), three-time emissary to Ottoman Turkey (1887–89, 1898–1900, 1909–10), and adviser to President Woodrow Wilson.

      A brother of Nathan Straus, the philanthropist and owner of R.H. Macy & Company, a New York City department store, Oscar Straus represented the United States in Constantinople (now Istanbul) on two missions between 1887 and 1900. In 1902 he was appointed a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague, to which he was reappointed in 1908, 1912, and 1920.

      In 1906 President Theodore Roosevelt named Straus secretary of commerce and labour, and three years later he was again sent to Turkey as its first U.S. ambassador. As a delegate representing the League to Enforce Peace to the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919, Straus aided President Wilson in the incorporation of provisions for the League of Nations into the Versailles Treaty and was active in advocating measures for the protection of Jewish minorities in Europe. His memoirs, Under Four Administrations; From Cleveland to Taft, were published in 1922.
