President Roosevelt thinks the Star is about as intelligently written “as if it were edited by some anti-imperialist high in the councils of Harvard College.” He approves of two of Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte’s recommendations for the personnel board, but is not familiar enough with the others to offer an opinion. Roosevelt inquires about Paymaster General H. T. B. Harris’s views about his successor, and asks for a report by the beginning of August. He is unsure about the turbine matter, and wonders if it is possible to defer the decision for a year until new turbines already provided for can be tested.
