Ambassador Porter submitted his formal resignation to President Roosevelt earlier, but here details various points of the diplomatic situation in France. These include French proposals for the increase on tariffs on imports and the negative effect for American businesses, the needs of American life insurance companies in France, an upcoming world’s convention of the Young Men Christian’s Association, and the finances of the search for the remains of John Paul Jones.
