The appointment of Cruzen’s successor is in the hands of Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw and he feels strongly that the appointee should be acquainted with customs law. President Roosevelt will go over the matter with Shaw but cannot oppose him if he remains firm in his opinion. Roosevelt asks Governor Hunt to show the letter to his “official family.”
