Senator Lodge is pleased that President Roosevelt agrees with him on the topic of inspectors under the naturalization legislation. Assistant Attorney General Alford Warriner Cooley has placed the inspectors under the Civil Service, but Lodge hopes that Roosevelt can shift them so they can be selected by the District Attorney or who ever is in control. Lodge was surprised by Secretary of the Navy Victor Howard Metcalf’s announcement regarding battleships being moved to the Pacific, and he hopes that “there has been no change in the situation which implies danger.”
