Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt agrees with Census Director North that a statistical report on crime that Congress directed him to make would be useful. Roosevelt does not think North should exclude any crimes from the report since facts need to be known about all types of crime, namely lynching. Roosevelt expects the statistics to be free from bias.
