Nicholas Murray Butler tells President Roosevelt about the League for International Conciliation, organized by Senator Estournelles de Constant of France. Butler hopes that Roosevelt’s Nobel Prize fund might support this group, or at least not work in opposition to it. Butler is in charge of organizing American membership in the organization, has already arranged a conference with Andrew Carnegie and Congressman Richard Bartholdt, and reports that there is enthusiasm from many different people within the United States. He encloses a list of the membership in the League thus far.
