Summary of letter from Wayne MacVeagh
At the Venezuela negotiations the French, aided by Russia, are attempting to drive out the British and American counsels by not speaking English. They can only succeed if the Americans do not speak out with courage. Wayne MacVeagh compliments President Roosevelt on his Syracuse speech and thinks that Archbishop John Ireland’s speech made a bad impression. He asks Roosevelt to stand his ground in support of capital and their ability to fix wages and discharge laborers as required by supply and demand.
