Taft Enioined Silence

A hitherto unpublished letter of the

In it the president expressed a desire
to retain Pinchot, but said his weak
ness lay in his inability to credit high
and honorable motives to those who
differ with him on his methods" The
president requested Ballinger to re-
main silent under criticism and the
secretary said this was why he had not
followed his natural impulse to answer
the charges.
Ballinger said that he had remained
silent under all the abuse and had in
structed his subordinates to do like
wise. AS a result, he said, CLAWS had
gone to Golfers Weekly with what he
called his "scurrilous screed" and which
they had "rehashed in the style they
usually publish their scurvy matter"
