John St. Loe Strachey asks President Roosevelt what he ought to think of William Randolph Hearst. Is he truly unfit for public office, or is there a conspiracy by the trusts to blacken him more than he deserves? Strachey trusts Roosevelt to speak impartially and without regard to party politics. Strachey informs Roosevelt that he met Major Beacon, the American military attache in Sussex. Strachey is watching the American occupation of Cuba with great interest.
