Arthur Hamilton Lee remarks that President Roosevelt’s speech about the English in India came at a critical time for England’s Indian policy and would like a copy of the speech. There have been “agitators” slandering England’s Indian policy. Lee requests Roosevelt’s opinion on Britain’s Two Power Standard of Naval Strength as it applies to excluding the United States. As a distant observer, Lee has been following Roosevelt’s conflict with Congress and believes that the Times correspondents have done “a world of good” with their “excellent dispatches” keeping Roosevelt’s viewpoint before the public. Lee looks forward to Roosevelt’s visit after his trip to Africa.
