The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation ( Hull )
Washington
, June 11,
1933—11 p.m.
22. From the President. Please do not worry about situation here in regard to tariff reductions and removal of trade obstacles. The eleventh hour rows in Congress over domestic problems made general tariff debate dangerous to our whole program.
I am squarely behind you and nothing said or done here will hamper your efforts. There is no alteration of your policy or mine. Remember too, that if we can get treaties signed we can call special session of Senate alone in the autumn to consider ratification. (Signed Roosevelt).
