After learning more about a case concerning efforts by the Hungarian government to prevent Austro-Hungarian immigrants from becoming American citizens, President Roosevelt tells Secretary of State Root that Marcus Braun was in the right, and that the State Department erred in backing up then-ambassador Bellamy Storer, who Roosevelt now believes had become “wholly valueless from the standpoint of representing American interests.” He wishes that the cable mentioned by Braun in an enclosed letter could be authenticated and publicized.
