President Roosevelt thanks Ambassador White for the article and photographs. He laments that the United States does not provide adequate quarters for its ambassadors abroad. Roosevelt believes that this was the chief cause of the “silly and unpleasant Berlin incident.” Roosevelt agrees with White on the effect of the fleet abroad.
