President Roosevelt sends his cousin William Emlen Roosevelt a self-explanatory letter from Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw. In view of the letter and the action of Congress, Roosevelt does not feel that he can not sign the bill. As Roosevelt understands it, the issue is not that the Chemical Bank will be hurt by the legislation, but that Emlen fears it will be difficult to pass better legislation.
