The official people never say that of course--nor the really responsible people, but a vast multitude of the public do.

This feeling comes out even in the present military and naval rulers of this Kingdom--comes indirectly to me.

A part of the public, then, and the military part of the Cabinet, don't longer care for American opinion and they resent even such a reference to peace as the President made in his Message to Congress[107].

But the civil part of the Cabinet and the responsible and better part of the public do care very much.

The President's intimation about peace, however, got no real response here.
