Although President Roosevelt, Secretary of War William H. Taft, and Secretary of the Navy Charles J. Bonaparte sympathize with the Catholic Church’s urgent need of money in the Philippines, nothing can be done unless Congress acts. Archbishop Agius’s suggestion can only be done through a Congressional appropriation of money. Roosevelt’s administration will recommend that the amount be granted, but does not know what Congress will do with those recommendations.
