John St. Loe Strachey, editor of The Spectator, thanks President Roosevelt for granting him permission to dedicate his book to Roosevelt. Strachey says that the unemployed bill was “an act of madness” and is happy to report that the government ended up condemning it. It took the threat of Member of Parliament John Burns’s resignation to stop support of the bill. Strachey says that Burns is one of the “very few true Conservatives left in the country” and that socialism is a danger in England unlike in the United States.
