"The President said to me," wrote Page in reference to this visit, "that when the war began he and all the men he met were in hearty sympathy with the Allies; but that now the sentiment toward England had greatly changed.

He saw no one who was not vexed and irritated by the arbitrary English course.

That is, I fear, true--that he sees no one but has a complaint.

So does the Secretary of State, and the Trade Bureau and all the rest in Washington.

But in Boston, in New York, and in the South and in Auburn, N.Y., I saw no one whose sympathy with the Allies had undergone any fundamental change.
