Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has reviewed the case of John C. Lynch, Collector of Internal Revenue at San Francisco, and believes that the only objections are political but it might be advisable to turn the case over to the Civil Service Commission. Shaw would also like to travel to New York to review matters concerning the “big ships” if this does not interfere with President Roosevelt’s plans.
