Dear Governor Strong:
Your telegram of the ninth of October is before me, and I have taken its contents up with the President. He does not feel that the time is opportune for him to speak in behalf of the Liberty Loan; but as there are several more campaigns of this sort to come, he thinks he ought to reserve himself for a later effort in case the subsequent loans should prove more sluggish than this one. I am sure you will appreciate the situation.
Sincerely yours,
Secretary to the President.
