John St. Loe Strachey, editor of The Spectator, asks President Roosevelt if he can dedicate an upcoming pamphlet to Roosevelt, a collection of letters printed in The Spectator on the dangers of socialism. By dedicating the pamphlet to Roosevelt, Strachey hopes to show people that enemies of socialism are not de facto in favor of unrestrained capitalism, as Roosevelt occupies a position between both extremes. Strachey thanks Roosevelt for a message Roosevelt sent through Arthur Hamilton Lee, and says that A. Maurice Low is a disgrace to journalism. He plans to send Roosevelt a paper that will be read at the Pan-Anglican Church Congress on the Ethics of Journalism.
