President Roosevelt thanks United States Representative Cockran for the letter and returns his enclosures. Diomede Falconio was correct in his belief that neither Roosevelt nor Secretary of State Elihu Root had used language classifying the Catholics of Shanghai as vicious, as had been reported. Roosevelt concurs with the guess that an interested party had deliberately misconstrued their words in order to cause trouble. Roosevelt is concerned by Anthony Matré’s actions, as he gave the telegram stating these falsehoods to the Associated Press without verifying its accuracy. He believes this behavior should be dealt with in a way that prevents its recurrence.

Diomede Falconio forwards a telegram to Representative Cockran that he received from Anthony Matré. Falconio does not believe that President Roosevelt or Secretary of State Elihu Root ever made a statement classifying the Catholics of Shanghai as vicious, and thinks that cablegrams stating this may have been sent to rile up the Catholic population in Shanghai. He asks Cockran to look into the matter.
