Herrick read passages from his forthcoming book upon rural credits and
told me that within a short time he would have it finished and ready for publi-
cation. He would then like to return to America.
We discussed the advisability of forming a new commercial treaty with
France so as to do away with the great inequalities now being practiced against
the United States. Herrick has skillfully brought France to a point where the
request for a new treaty had come from them. He made some suggestions regard-
ing the personal of the American Commission, should one be appointed for the pur-
pose of formulating such a treaty.
He wondered why the President had never said anything concerning his con-
tinuing as Ambassador. I thought the President did not have him on his mind,
for he was satisfied with his work, and that he had so many other problems to
solve that he had as yet given but little thought to the French Embassy.
London.
June 12, 1914.
I <del>we</del> came from Paris on the 9th. I lunched with Page on the 10th and he
lunched with me yesterday so we have had an exchange of ideas. He was kind
enough to say that he considered my work in Germany the most important done in
this generation. I thought before making an estimate we would have to see how
far I could get with it here. He replied I would find this Government very sym-
pathetic and he felt a beginning was as good as accomplished. We decided to ap-
proach Sir Edward Grey first and leave it to his judgment whether to bring in
Asquith and the King.
Page looked over his engagements and found it was impossible for him to be
free until Wednesday. He communicated with Sir Edward and asked him to lunch
on that day, and received a prompt acceptance. In the meantime I am to lunch
with Page on Saturday to meet T. R. and a distinguished company.
