Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt
Regarding the benzoate case, Senator Lodge meant to ask President Roosevelt to instruct Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson to make a just order. He has revoked permission for people to use benzoate, while still allowing the use of sulfur fumes. As Roosevelt has now ordered a new advisory board to investigate the benzoate question, Lodge believes workers should have permission to use the material pending the result of the board’s findings.
