Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt is unaware of the statement to which Minnesota Governor Johnson is referring, which was attributed to Roosevelt. He has not spoken to any reporter on the subject. Roosevelt agreed that Johnson’s idea of a meeting of the representatives of the States and the District of Columbia regarding insurance was an excellent idea, and he supported it. Interstate commerce is very different, however, and Roosevelt does not believe that such a conference would be helpful.
