President Roosevelt tells Congressman Charles F. Scott that it is foolishness to expect for the United States to put on a good exhibit without providing the money to pay for it. He asks why Scott contacted him about a bill that can only be amended in Congress. He has been meeting with Congressmen about the bill, but urges Scott to see the members of the committee himself.
