President Roosevelt thanks William Nathan Cohen for his letter. Roosevelt does not see how any allusion can be made in the party platform to the passport business that is “not mere flapdoodle.” It is not possible to take any active steps beyond what is already being done through diplomacy to affect the issuance of passports by the Russians, and Roosevelt does not believe in putting anything in a platform about which the party can do nothing.
