When we parted, Asquith was good enough to say he would like to renew our con-
versation. He stopped for a moment as we went out to speak to Spring-Rice. La-
ter Sir Cecil told me that Asquith expressed pleasure at having met me and said I
had given him a better idea of the Mexican situation than he had had before, and
that I had given it in the fewest possible words, which was always appreciated by
a man as busy as he was.
July 3, 1914.
We had to lunch today Walter Page, Thomas Nelson Page, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
Sir William Tyrrell and Irwin Laughlin. Tyrrell brought me word that Sir Edward
Grey had asked him to say he did not wish to give any written message to the Kai-
ser for fear of hurting the sensibilities of France, but he hoped I would convey
to him the impressions I had received in my talks with the British Government in
regard to my plan for a better understanding, just as I had conveyed to them the
impressions I gad gained in Germany. Sir Edward also expressed interest in my
proposal regarding an understanding between the lending nations as to their loans
to the weaker and undeveloped nations, and that we could count upon his Govern-
ment's cordial support in that direction.
Page told me Sir Edward said to him yesterday that he had had a long talk
with the German Ambassador here and had sent messages direct to the Kaiser con-
cerning the bringing about <add>of</add> a better understanding between the two countries, and
the countries of Europe, along the lines suggested by me.
I feel we have gone a long way in the right direction and that much good
has already been accomplished. I trust more will follow.
At luncheon we went into a full discussion of the general proposition
about which we met. Sir Cecil had prepared a memorandum for Sir Edward which
he entirely approved. He had no copy with him but Sir William promised to send
one to me later in the day, which he did.
