John A. Sleicher thanks President Roosevelt for his expression on the tariff question and states that he thinks Roosevelt is the only person able to effectively wield the “big stick” during crises. Sleicher also alerts Roosevelt to remarks recently made by Charles M. Harvey, who said that even though Roosevelt might be sincere in saying he does not want the nomination, conditions might force him to accept it nonetheless.
