Letter from Frank Knox to Theodore Roosevelt

Frank Knox agrees with Theodore Roosevelt’s assessment regarding the “negative character” of government control in Controller Bay. Knox says that they must strike a balance between government involvement and attracting private investment. Roosevelt’s declaration in a prior letter favored the idea of a government owned railroad, whereas Walter L. Fisher offered an alternative solution where the government operates the coal-fields.
