President Roosevelt thanks Ernest Harvier for the editorial. Roosevelt explains, for Harvier’s information, what the situation was involving Maria Longworth Storer and Archbishops John M. Farley and John Ireland, saying that she began to interfere in the politics of the Catholic Church to such a degree that it appeared that Roosevelt was sanctioning the interference. The final dismissal of her husband, Bellamy Storer, from the ambassadorial service came, however, because they were not answering Roosevelt’s letters.
