President Roosevelt sends Senator Hopkins a letter from Public Printer John S. Leech, which he says explains itself. Roosevelt feels that it would not be possible to interfere in the matter, as it would oblige him to act on innumerable other cases as well. Roosevelt thinks that the Government Printing Office should be under a cabinet secretary, who would then take care of the matter, but that Congress is preventing this change from happening.
