Attorney General Moody encloses a draft of the announcement appointing trustees for the Nobel Peace Prize, which follows President Roosevelt’s instructions and includes Secretary of War Taft’s suggestion. Moody has added stipulations for the use of income since Roosevelt’s draft was silent on that aspect and thought Roosevelt might wish to take into account Secretary of Agriculture Wilson’s suggestion.
