President Roosevelt tells Secretary of the Treasury Shaw that the Germans are “very anxious” for the United States to send people over in an attempt to come to an agreement about tariff matters. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich agrees that this should be done. Although Roosevelt doubts that Germany and the United States will come to a consensus at all, he believes that sending representatives for negotiation is “courteous and proper.”
