President Roosevelt agrees with Reuben D. Silliman that the actions of the government are driven by “aggressiveness.” Rather, it is because the business of the country has become national. He will mention Silliman’s letter to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte to see whether the case can be argued again.
