Ambassador and I talked yesterday, as well as <del/> number of details re-
lating to departmental and foreign affairs. Polk tells me of how guarded he
has to be with the Secretary of State, not so much indeed as to the Secretary
himself, but more because Mrs. Lansing shows a disposition to be jealous. This
quality of jealousy or envy constantly confronts one and hampers in the work one
<del/> is doing.
The British Ambassador wishes Polk to visits Canada in return for the many
visits which Canadian officials have made to the United States. Polk thinks it
would not do for him to consider the matter, and I am to write Lansing telling
him the Ambassador desires him to go. This I shall do today or tomorrow.
The day has been one of confusion because of our breaking up for the summer.
Dudley Malone and Wiseman were callers. Wiseman is worried about the proposed
visit of Lord Northcliffe. My letter to the President about this is a part of
the dairy. Both Wiseman and the Ambassador are afraid the Northcliffe faction
in the British Cabinet will have him sent over before Balfour's return, knowing
that Balfour's influence will be thrown against the project.
June 2, 1917.
Another day of turmoil. Wiseman was the earliest caller and Frank Polk
followed. Both visits were largely to arrange details of communication, <del/>. etc.
for the summer.
Frank Polk tells me that a secret service man overheard two men planning
to tap our private telephone somewhere between Washington and Magnolia. The
report has evidently gotten abroad that I have a wire directly to the White
House. This story comes to me from several quarters, showing it has wide cur-
rency. The State Department will place two secret service men in a motor to go
over the line all the way from Washington to Magnolia.
