Wallace says the entire London Embassy is a nest of disloyalty to the
President.
I took lunch with Wallace at the Metropolitan Club. Joseph Davies call-
ed at half past two o'clock about the Federal Trades Commission, the coming
campaign etc.
Bernstorff was visibly pleased over the note, although he regretted

My letter to the President of tomorrow will tell further of my inter-
view with Bernstorff. I shall not have time to write about it today.
Dudley Malone came for an hour to discuss his senatorial prospects and
various other matters, and at nine o'clock Frank Polk came again. We went
over the international situation and then took up campaign matters. Before
he left at 10.30 I received a code message from the President asking my opin-

wrote him my views, and this letter is a part of the diary. I sent it to

o'clock, tired but not altogether a dissatisfied man.
May 6, 1916.
I wrote the President more fully this morning and sent the letter by

Polk telephoned to say that Lansing disagreed with my opinion. His
first reading of the note was that it would not do; his second reading was
