Theodore Roosevelt shares Frank Knox’s feeling of disgust with the political situation at present. Roosevelt thinks there is no use in trying to secure betterment legislation until there is a return to prosperity. Roosevelt thinks reform must follow prosperity because if reform is presented as an alternative to prosperity, the people will choose prosperity. Roosevelt is glad that Knox liked what he wrote about the Mexican situation and the Administration’s attitude on the European War.
