President Roosevelt does not need further recommendations from Ralph M. Easley until George W. Goethals comments on Gertrude Beeks’s book. Secretary of State Elihu Root will likely not be able to speak at Easley’s conference, but Roosevelt would be delighted if Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou could. Roosevelt agrees with Root about the proposed Reynolds Commission’s excellence.
