President Roosevelt informs Senator Hale that he has spoken with Secretary of State Elihu Root and Ambassador Lloyd Carpenter Griscom about the situation in Italy. Italy’s need for funds in the wake of its recent disaster is very great, and Roosevelt believes that it would not be safe to appropriate less than half a million dollars, in addition to the rations on the two supply ships that have already been sent.
