Garet Garrett, of the New York Times, came to tell something of his exper-

Norman Angell came to discuss peace and its aftermath. He is concerned

I have a code message from the President sayings.
"Think it would be best if opportunity offers to communicate to
Bernstorff substance of State Department memorandum".
Since the Ambassador went to Washington last night I cannot see him. I

Edward S. Martin and Sidney Brooks both came this morning. Brooks was

to have some private talk. He sees signs of the protectionists and big busi-
