Douglas Robinson suggests that President Roosevelt write him a private letter that could be leaked to George W. Perkins and Robert Bacon which would praise the publication of their status and earnings from the United States Steel Corporation. This could make Perkins and Bacon stronger allies for Roosevelt’s policy of “giving publicity to the affairs” of large corporations. The men of corporate interests that have spoken to Robinson have confidence in Roosevelt and have praised his actions.
