says he does Lane.
Sir Eric Drummond told Wallace at dinner that many people had asked
Viscount (Sir Edward) Grey for his photograph but, as far as he knew, Lord
Grey had never asked for anyone's excepting mine. I hope this is true for I
have a real affection for him.
April 28, 1917.
My most important conference today was with Mr. Balfour. I made no secret
of it and went directly to Breckenridge Long's house which he is occupying. No
one <add>else</add> was present and we talked for an hour and a half without interruption. And
this reminds me that Sir Eric asked yesterday whether it would be convenient for
Balfour to continue to be a guest of the Government rather than <add>to</add> go<del>ing</del> to the
British Embassy as planned. I told him it would be. I later spoke to the
officials in the State Department and told them of Balfour's request and my re-
ply.
I asked Drummond, and Balfour as well, to open their minds to me as freely
as to one another so that things might go without friction. They promised to
do so and this is an evidence of it.
Balfour wished to know where we should begin our discussion, whether
we should first take up peace terms to be imposed in the event of a decisive
defeat of Germany, or whether to take it up on a basis of a stalemate or partial
defeat. I thought we had better discuss the first proposition.
He had a large map of Europe and of Asia Minor and we began this most
important and interesting discussion, the understanding being that he and I
would go through with it first, <del/> letting me convey our conclusions
to the President before the three of us had our conference on Monday.
We took <del>it</del> for granted that Alsace and Lorraine <add>w</add> <del>sh</del>ould go to France,
and that France, Belgium, and Serbia <add>w</add> <del>sh</del>ould be restored.
