Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt cannot tell French Ensor Chadwick about Spain. While things look “very ominous,” he doubts anything will happen. Roosevelt assures Chadwick that he will do what he can to ensure Chadwick, Willard H. Brownson, and C. H. Davis get ships should war happen. He thinks it a good thing to get the editor of the Engineering News before the board.
