Letter from Leslie M. Shaw to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw states that the Treasury Department and the Bureau of Immigration will be liberal with the admission of individuals that may fall under the Chinese Exclusion Laws if they are attending the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. China has been invited to participate and the good faith of their participating citizens should not be questioned. Shaw assumes that the Department of Commerce and Labor will have the same policy.
