President Roosevelt tells Secretary of the Treasury Shaw that they must do something about the German Chamber of Commerce speech, with Shaw either giving the particulars of the speech or admitting that the speech had not been made and he should not have made the claim that it was. Roosevelt considers the matter of particular importance because Shaw made the statement to the House Committee on Ways and Means, which has now been refusing to make two of the three changes to the customs administration law that Shaw recommended. The German government does not consider that the recommendations were made in good faith, and Roosevelt would not wish to see the tentative agreement they have with Germany fail because of this matter.
