Richard V. Oulahan of the New York Sun writes to William Loeb to discuss a fellow newspaper man, simply referred to as “Richard,” who has apparently been accused of writing a false interview with President Roosevelt. Oulahan suspects that “Richard,” whom he met at the Portsmouth Peace Conference and does not speak English, was tricked by a translator into believing Roosevelt had given him an on-the-record comment. Oulahan and his British colleague Otto von Gottberg believe “Richard” to be an honorable man, and Oulahan hopes Loeb and Roosevelt might look into the matter so that “Richard” may be absolved of the accusation of breaching journalistic integrity.
