To all suggested topics for discussion at the White House, he replied either that he might bring them up if the spirit moved him, or that he would be glad to discuss them if the President wished to.

Forgetting for the moment that the New Deal has taken many emergency measures and that his prospective host had proclaimed a New Crisis only the night before, he made a remark which, had it been intentional, would have been a slur on the President.
