President Roosevelt responds to William I. Nichols’s letter to William Loeb by saying that any good guidance can be twisted to serve bad ends. The statistics surrounding the country’s birth rate, in particular a decrease in the Native American birth rate, prove his beliefs are correct. Roosevelt feels that no one should marry who can not support a family. He describes the sociological situation in France to support his points.
