President Roosevelt assures Senator Lodge that Secretary of the Navy Victor Howard Metcalf was misrepresented in an article which said he disowned Lodge over Lodge’s comments on the Navy. Roosevelt believes that Lodge never said that Japan would insult the country if not for the Navy. Regarding the speeches made by Comptroller Lawrence O. Murray, Roosevelt believes that Murray’s statements regarding bank examiners were correct and necessary, but it is unfortunate that he made them during the campaign, when there were going to be misunderstood.
