President Roosevelt is confused by what type of assistance Henry Lee Higginson is asking for concerning the “money market.” He believes it is the responsibility of the “railroad and corporation people”, or those who have exploited stocks, to reassure investors and the American people regarding railroad rate regulation. He also reminds Higginson that he is expanding upon the same regulations that already exist in Higginson’s home state of Massachusetts.
