President Roosevelt believes that when the military court’s report on the damages to churches in the Philippines comes in, they should request that Congress appropriate the recommended money. He agrees with Secretary of War Taft that the church is morally entitled to the money. Roosevelt wonders if they should appoint a further commission to report if there are further morally equitable, but not technically legal, rights that that the church should receive from the United States.
