Paul Morton gives President Roosevelt his assessment on the currency question and other economic matters, and suggests that he contact Charles A. Conant or Frank A. Vanderlip if he wants unofficial expert advice. Morton likes the idea of Roosevelt issuing a manifesto on Cuba and suggests that there will never be a better time for it.
