Oscar S. Straus was glad to learn President Roosevelt did not accept an honorary position as president of the National Civic Federation, as contingencies could easily arise within that organization to put Roosevelt in a bad light. Straus also asks that he might be permitted to discuss the possible replacements for Ambassador McCormick before that selection is final.
