Ansley Wilcox urges President Roosevelt to use moderation in handling the current financial crisis, “with all earnestness and friendliness.” Many of Roosevelt’s friends and supporters may not say so as loudly, but they agree with a recent speech by Edward Morse Shepard which was very critical of Roosevelt’s handling of the financial crisis. While he understands the need to punish wrongdoers, Wilcox fears that too much change at once will strain the business and social affairs of the country. He warns that statements made by Roosevelt and his associates have intensified feelings of social unrest, undermining public confidence in financial institutions.
