The British Ambassador and Lady Spring-Rice took lunch with us today. We
had an hour's conference afterward. He does not feel as badly about Northcliffe
as I had supposed, although he knows how imminent his (Spring-Rice's) recall is.
He expresses contempt for Northcliffe in every possible way. He believes Balfour
would have resigned at any other time if Northcliffe had been appointed to this

gives him an excuse for coming up here. Sir William Wiseman will be out to-

B. F. Yoakum telephoned from New York asking me to see Brent of the Ship-
ping Board. I declined and explained that I understood the situation but did
not care to become involved in that controversy.
I have a telegram from Hamilton Holt indicating that he would like to
see me.
