We must certainly manage to keep our foreign representatives properly informed.

The real trouble is to conduct genuinely confidential correspondence except through private letters, but surely the thing can be changed and it will be if I can manage it.
We are deeply indebted to you for your kindness and generous hospitality to our young folks[40] and we have learned with delight through your letters and theirs of their happy days in England.
With deep regard and appreciation, Cordially and faithfully yours, WOODROW WILSON.
HON.

WALTER H.PAGE, American Embassy, London, England.
Yet for the American Ambassador the experience was not one of unmixed satisfaction.

These letters have contained references to the demoralized condition of the State Department under Mr.Bryan and the succeeding ones will contain more; the Carden episode portrayed the stupidity and ignorance of that Department at their worst.

By commanding Carden to cease his anti-American tactics and to support the American policy the Foreign Office had performed an act of the utmost courtesy and consideration to this country.
