President Roosevelt asks Acting Secretary of State Bacon if Mulai Abd al-Aziz IV, Sultan of Morocco could extradite Paul O. Stensland, who could then be taken into custody. Anticipating potential international complications, Roosevelt feels it best he be transported on a returning Army or Navy ship. Roosevelt regards Stensland as “one of the most obnoxious type of criminals” and will take any necessary measures to bring him to justice.
