contributed to the campaign fund, and was scarcely known to Wilson until
he was elected President. McCombs has been so wild in his misstatements
that it saves me the trouble of publicly contradicting him.
Stanley Quinn came to get additional data for the Glynn speech. I
asked the Mayor to delegate Quinn to Governor Glynn during the time he is
preparing his speech/ Frank Polk came before Quinn left and we discussed
together the character of the address.
Polk remained with me until three o'clock. We went over foreign af-
fairs and pending matters very fully. I have about come to the conclusion
that Vance McCormick of Pennsylvania is worth looking over for National Chair-
man. I shall arrange to have him over this week so as to see what he is like.
Polk thinks it would be cruel to Lansing to have him <add>(Polk)</add> leave the State Depart-
ment at this time and I agreed with him. Lansing is not well, and his serious
disability at this time would, in my opinion, be a blow to the administration.
I showed Polk my letters and suggestions to the President, my cable
to Sir Edward Grey, and the suggestion I made to the President concerning the
speech to be made on May 27th. He approved it all. He thought it a pity
we did not have someone as Ambassador in London who could help in the general
plan we have in mind. He knows, as I do, how hard it is to bring about ac-
complishment when we are all working together and striving for the same end.
When Quinn was here he told us of some reference <add>he had dug up</add> <del/> made
by Alexander Hamilton concerning foreign affairs and the selfishness of nations
and I added my own opinion upon this subject. <add>No class of people</add> <del>The pirates of finance</del> are <del>not</del>
more ruthless, as a rule, in their dealings with one another than are governments.
The governments, however, clothe their actions in subtle and diplomatic terms
and use high-sounding, patriotic and altruistic sentiments.
