(CONFIDENTIAL)

Dear Mr. President

Mr. F. A. Scott, Chairman of the War Industries Board, called on me this morning about some of the work of the Board, and incidentally remarked: "Judge Lovett is an enormous addition to the strength of the Board; if something should happen to all the rest of us, we would still have a War Industries Board with him left."

I thought you would be interested to have this evidence of harmony in the Board, and appreciation of Judge Lovett's talents.

Respectfully yours,
Newton D. Baker


The President.
