Baron Estournelles de Constant informs President Roosevelt of his upcoming visit to America to speak at the Carnegie Institute. He hopes his speech, entitled “American youth and American faith regenerating European old age and skepticism”, will spawn “great confidence” upon the younger generation of Americans. He will arrive in Washington on the eighth, avoiding any speaking engagements until he receives Roosevelt’s advice on how do so.
