Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Gifford Pinchot
Theodore Roosevelt will follow Gifford Pinchot’s suggestion on the letter from Max W. Ball. Roosevelt takes umbrage with Henry Cantwell Wallace’s recommendations on discussing military preparedness in Des Moines, Iowa. He says he will stand behind President Woodrow Wilson “precisely to the degree in which Abraham Lincoln stood behind Polk in the Mexican War…” He will stand behind every public servant to the degree in which they serve the United States.

Letter from Gifford Pinchot to Theodore Roosevelt
Gifford Pinchot writes to Theodore Roosevelt about the passage of the Walsh Bill. Max W. Ball and his colleagues are opposed to the Bill because it does not give large enough units to private corporations for development. When opponents to the Walsh Bill mention Standard Oil, “they want to be in on the grabbing themselves,” says Pinchot.
