Douglas Robinson was advised by friends several weeks ago not to respond to the false story in the New York World about his involvement in an alleged Panama Canal Syndicate. He has heard from James R. Sheffield that such a syndicate does not exist. If President Roosevelt would like Robinson to make a statement, he will, but would like advice about how to do so.
