Donald McDonald Dickinson offers his opinion on the prospects for President Roosevelt’s administration and the attacks being made on him. Although popular sentiment is with Roosevelt, the organization is likely to oppose him in strength at the next election, and the time to begin preparing for that fight is now. The Booker T. Washington incident and his speech at Arlington hurt him. If Roosevelt could make some statement this fall about his desire to find a solution for the negro problem, it might assuage those in the South who were offended. Dickinson also urges that Abram S. Hewitt and others with large investment interests be made advisers to the president.

John St. Loe Strachey is in favor of amnesty and does not think the government will be harsh in the matter, although he is not in favor of giving back the vote. Strachey also approves of President Roosevelt’s firm stance on Cuba, as it shows that he is not bound to his party simply because he is part of it. Some Americans have told Strachey that because he, a British editor, praises Roosevelt so highly, Roosevelt must be pro-British and a bad American.
