President Roosevelt agrees with James F. Cave that it is outrageous that a man is barred from membership in any organization because he is a member of the Iowa National Guard. However, Roosevelt cannot do anything about the matter. He hopes the people of Burlington, Iowa, will regard it as their patriotic duty to take care of “such a man.”
