talked largely of Mexico and of our plans regarding that country. I expressed
the view, given others concerning Mexico, that she was now in her normal condition
and that no one could tell just what was necessary to do until the revolutionists
established a government. Sir Edward seemed to think that we could not avoid in-
tervention. I thought if we went into Mexico it would be to help maintain an
existing government, which would be different and less difficult that to go in of
our own volition to establish one. He admitted this. When I left, Sir Edward
joined me and we drove to the Foreign Office where he got out and I went to the
berkeley Hotel.
During our discussion at the table, I brought out quite clearly my plan for
an understanding between the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France
regarding the undeveloped countries of the earth. This they generally approved.
I suggested that Page, Spring-Rice, Tyrrell and I should try to work out something
to present to the President upon my return. Sir Edward said the initiative would
have to come from the President because of the sensibilities of Americans in re-
gard to the Monroe Doctrine.
We went to dinner at the Wellington Club with Sir Horace Plunkett. The
other guests were Lady Paget, Lady Fingall, Earl Grey and Sidney and Mrs. Brooks.
Later we went to see the Irish Players. It was a delightful evening.
Lord Grey took occasion after dinner to urge that an appropriation be made at
this session of Congress for the celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of
Peace. He asked if I would not influence the Government here to take part in
the Panama Exposition at San Francisco. He had considered attacking the Govern-
ment upon this question in the House of Lords, but concluded no good would come of
such a course. He is stopping at Dorchester House and asked me to lunch there on
Monday.
Lady Paget and I talked of the Irish question. She spoke of General Sir
Arthur Paget's anxiety concerning the outcome. She said that Pittsburg wanted
