Theodore Roosevelt informs Colonel Paxon that he is unable to interfere with any Cabinet officer, especially one with whom he has had close relations. Roosevelt knows nothing of the situation and believes Henry L. Stimson would resent his speaking on any ground other than of personal acquaintance with the needs of the Department of War.
