Eugene A. Philbin, on behalf of Monsignor Agius, requests a meeting with President Roosevelt before Agius leaves for the Philippines. Philbin is satisfied he has proved that the Roosevelt administration cannot solve land disputes with the Catholic Church via executive order, rather than legislative processes, and recommends Minahan be appointed as a judge.
