President Roosevelt will meet John Brisben Walker to discuss “the causes which work to the disadvantage of the people” in the government, but does not want to be quoted either directly or indirectly. He adds that the “most potent” cause that disadvantages the public is the way that certain writers and journalists write about the causes.
