United States Ambassador to France White encloses an article by André Tardieu in Le Temps. White is pleased with President Roosevelt’s observations with respect to religious toleration and reform leading to religious harmony. He thinks this view will be productive in France. He also encloses pictures of the new American embassy in Paris. Finally, White updates Roosevelt on the political situation in France. Emile Combes gave an unfortunate speech at a dinner honoring Henri Brisson, which hurt his own chances of ousting Georges Clemenceau as Prime Minister.
