James Jeffrey Roche tells President Roosevelt of some investigations he has done regarding the distribution of Filipino pupils among secular colleges. He has collected information about the prices charged by Catholic colleges, which William A. Sutherland, of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, has said is too expensive. Roche thinks he may be mistaken about this, but will not create a controversy about the matter, as he does not wish to affect the current political campaign. He plans to raise the point when he speaks with George B. Cortelyou soon, and offers to come to Washington, D.C., to speak to Roosevelt about it.
