President Roosevelt informs Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler that Jacob H. Schiff’s speech has “fallen absolutely flat;” that no Senator or Congressman has been influenced; and “the great majority of the business men” who write him have warned him not to pay attention to it. Roosevelt does not believe that anything can be done about currency legislation during this session of Congress, but he wants to make “a resolute effort” next session.
