Advisory oninions, World Court
Austen Chamberlain, at the InternaticnA. Lunch Club, Geneva, said.
that advisory opinicns were of most vital importance; that under
the ru.les of the court public notice
2.,iven to every League
member and to all other nations interested and that every party
in interest was given an oppnrtunity of arguing the cLieztion,
that if the U.S. accepted the Worn Court with a reservation that
advisory opinions should be abolished, the Nations, much
as the:
,
wanted the U.S. to join the court, would not be willing to ray
such a price.
So-rie cne asked if there would be any objection to a reservation
that
public notice and, hearing must be given in the case of advicary
judgments.
Lord Cecil replied, that the rules of the Court provided that
such
notice and hearing shall always be riven ond that 311 ch
a res Pr vat ton
would 'be an irsult to the judges, and that he believ
ed they would
resign if such an affront were visited on them.
Some cn3 asked if there 7.r.)u1d be objection to ch-Inging
the phrase
"advisory opinions" to "declaratory judgments" which
phrase implied
hearing andare-uraent.
Mr. Chamberlain said he saw no objection to the U.S.
accepting the
World Court with a statement that it interpreted the
words
"advisory opinions to m- an "declaratory judgment
:4."
senator Walsh, of Montana, Who was present, said he
must ts1t7e issue,
with sane of the expressions as to advisory opin'ens;
that the
feeling that they should be clearly limited Was not
so absurd as
they seeraed to think; that there was danger that
the court might
fall into the position of a private, confid
ential livissr of the
League of Nations, as would. be an Attorney Genere
l to a Department
of the U.S.
Lord Cecil said a better and truer analog
y would be that of a state of
the U.S. asking an advisory opinion from
the supreme Court of its
state.

Lord Cecil also said that a reelvation that
Advisory Opinions must be
accompanied by open hearings and argument

for by the rules of the court, - would be
an insult to the court.

in the papers; that an associated Press representative came to
the house yesterday and she gave him the facts, and he was to
prepare a statement to be published tomorrow (Sunday); that she
wanted me to read it carefully and tell her if it was in good
shape.
I told her how pleased I was and that Biker could command ma in any way.
She said she expected him to consult me and would so tell him.
She said she fully r3alised that many would criticise her choice, but
felt She had done the wisest thing, to which I fully agreed.
I said I feared Newton Biker would not be pleased, although he liked
a
Baker personally.

American statesman, was correct, She did not care mudabow he felt
about it.

Bocci, Mr.
Mr. Bocci was a passenger on the Providence.
Aug. 17, 1925.

We first met him an the dock at Lisbon Where he was put into our
automobile to go to Cintra by the agent, without &Airbag air
permission. He seemed a very charming man. He tad us he had
paid $7 for the trip and seemed amazed when we told him
we
were to pay $21 for the
to exclusively to ourselves, and
said we ought to deduct $7 from this amount.
Returning to Lisbon for supper I found the agent there
and insisted
an deducting the $7. After &bitter row the agent finall
y
took the $14.

Bocci told Bertie (in French, he does not speak tnglis
h) all about
his broken engagement with Miss Bayles,of Pawtucket,
R.I.
He was an Assistant or private secretary to the Italia
n
Sec. of the Interior, and served in the Italian army during
the war, and MA wounded.
He said the wedding invitations had all been sent
out for August 12;
that his father was recovering from an operat
ionand could not
go on with him; that on sailing from Naples for
N.Y. he received
& cable, in Italian, from Miss Bayles; that it
was very affectionate
and ended with 'kisses'; that she sent him two
more cables, one
an his birthday, and one three days before he
landed, saying she
was locking forward to meeting him in N.Y. and
giving no hint of
any doubt or trouble.
He showed these cables to Bortie and myself
.
He said that the day before the ship landed
in N.Y. the Captain sent
for him and told him that & radio news messag
e, two days previously,
stated that Miss Bayles had announced that
the marriage had been
indefinitely postponed; that he had not
permitted this to be

Bocci, Mr. (Contid.)
published in the radio bulletins on the ship.
Bocci told WI he Was astounded and felt there must be some mistake
as the Radio bulletin had come only one day after Miss Bayless
last affectionate cablegram.
•
e
•
Bocci said that when he landed he was beseigei with reporters and
photographers; that Mr. Fessenden, a business agent of the
Bayles, met him at the dock and told him the marriage was
postponed and that Mrs. and Miss Bayles were waiting for him
at the St. Regis hotel; that ressenden gave him at the dock
a twelve page letter tram Miss Bayles, saying that she knew
her oonduct was abominable; that she cared for him very much
and was only afraid she was so young that she did not care for
him enough to leave her family and America; that she hoped
time would show what she had better do, and that their best
course would be to wait awhile.
Bartle pointed out that she did not irrevocably end the matter in
this letter.
"
Bocci said he then went to the St. Regis and had a talk with Mrs.
Bayles and Miss Wiest am& later a separate talk with
Miss Bayles; that Mile Series said she was not willing to have
any children she might hate, brought up in the Catholic.faith.
Bocci saidd he told her he did not ask this, but that he merely
wanted a Catholic as well WA a Protestant ceremony.
•
Bocci sail Miss Bayles told him she loved him but was not sure enough
of herself to leave her family and America; that Mrs. Bayles
expressed her deepest regret saying she loved him as a son.
Bocci said he then went to Boston to vist Mrs. Nathaniel Bowditch
Potter (Molly Sargent) at her father's house in Brookline; that
he had known her very well in Rome and that ghe originally
introduced him to her °moths, Mrs. and Miss Bayles; that while
there he motored with Mrs. Potter to Pawtucket, in order to see
the house in Which be was to have been married; that Mts. Potter
was extremely sympathetic and very indignant at the treatment.
Becci said that While in Brookline Mrs. Bayles sent him letters to
his father and to the Secretary at the Interior; that these
letters all put the matter primarily on the ground of religion:
that she spoke of the fundamental questions which must be
settled; that she apologised deeply for her daughter's change
of mind, speaking of her youth and pointing out that American
girls have more freedom in these matters than foreign girls;
she praised Bocci in the highest degree and expressed the hope that
a.
10.
Becci, Mr. (Conttd.)
this would not injure his status in Italian politics.
Bocci told us he hal &Papal permit for the wed4ing and that he also
would have had an Episcopal ceremony;that he would
9
have agreed
to an Zpiscopal ceremony alone if she had insisted, even if it
resulted in his excommunication.
Aug. 25, 1925.
160 to 163
Becci feels that Mt. Paul Nicholson, the brother in law of Miss Sayles
was very mumh opposed to the match; that Nicholson was a Pacifist
during the war and suspected of Pro German activities.
, 4,
.ttotIN47o7 *tvs.tot
Becci said that 5 months ago the chief of police of Remo told him he
was being follomed, and that he would have him protected as a
member of the Govt; that he said he could protect himself; that
later the chief said that three men were following him and thereupon
he agreed they should be watched; that this was traced badk to
the German agent of Nicholson, who got the Italian agent of
Nicholson to employ private detedtives, evidently to watch his
daily life.
•
Bocci said there was nothing to be concealed in his life.
He also said Bishop Perry called on Miss Sayles almost every day and
he believes Nicholson persuaded him to try to persuade Miss Bayles
not to marry a Roman Catholic.
o
He said Miss Sayles had an Italian Priest in Pawtucket talk with her
as to the rules of the Catholic church.
He believes, between them all, something was done to frighten her
within the two days before the receipt of her last cable to him
and his landing.

He mid he sent his photograph last winter to both of Miss Sayles
married sisters, Mrs. Nevin Brodke and Mrs. Nicholson; that
Mrs. Brooke wrote him& nice letter of acknowledgment but that
Mrs. Nicholson never replied.
Bocci said. he was well to do and had ample means to support Miss Bayles
and that no question of money had ever been raised between them;
that be told her he was willing to live 6 months of the year in
the U.S. and was also williqg to go into business there; that his
hone in Italy would taws be open to her mother.

Bocci begged VA to advise him what to do, and we advised him
to
write a dignified letter telling of his humiliation becaus

such treatment, but distinctly disavowing any respon

upon her, and telling her he lowed her still and that even
this
cruel test would not break down his love, and that he would

of the ignominy visited upon him but said
he did not hold her
responsible for that; that he loved her still and
was willing

write him.

Bocci told VA that he bad talked with
an Italian doctor on board Who
lived in Providence and that he said he
would gladly undertake to
deliver to Miss wigs any letter Bead

We strongly advised . him not to take
this means, at least not until

the right to believe his

Bocci said he had taken the Italian doctaris address, and told him if
Miss Bayles did not answer his direct letter, be would
write another and send it through him • C.S.H. warned him not
to write indirectly until direct communicaticm failed; that
if she did answer directly and later received letters sent
indirectly it might make Mrs. Sayles angry at the implication
that she intercepted her daughter's letters.
Bocci is a fine fellow, simple, yet manly and straightforward. He
never before has been in the U.S. nor even in Lcadon or Paris.
He seems well versed in Italian history.

motion to remove him.
Mr. James told C.S.H., later, that Biggos statement that the Jews
of St. Louis were collecting their bad debts through the
non-cash collecting facilities of the Federal Reserve Bank - was
sufficient for his removal for this attack on the Jaws.

of Gov. Harding to John Skelton Williams, acknowl

of a copy of Williams letter to Bolling, dated
May 14, 1918.
Gov. Harding said in his letter that he had reed
the copy of
Williams letter to Bolling to the Board, and that
the ensuing
discussion developed that on April 15, 1918,
when the Masher
license was finally granted, not a single
member had any knowledge
that Bolling had any co mooted with Masher
or his corporation.
Gov. H.ts letter further stated that the
decision to grant the license
"was based entirely upon the peculiar
circumstances affecting the
case, as described in my letter to Mr.
Tumulty of April 12, and upon
the views of the President as set forth
in his letter to me of
April 15."

C.S.H. reminded him that the President asked Leffingwell's opinion,

the Possible effect of refusal upon the pending Liberty Loan.
C.S.H. asked Gov. H. if in his book he had referred to Bolling in any

She 'sai4 she was visiting Edith In Washington for a few days and wanted
Edith to watch the inaugural parade with her, but that Edith
declined as she was busy house clowning; that Edith bad never
met Mt. Wilson, although she had in New Jersey; that she secured
an appointment with Mt. Wilson mid called just after his inauguration
but that Edith would not go with her; that a few days later she
learned Mr. Wilson was going to the Belasco Theatre, and she
persuaded Edith to drive her down, and they sat in the auto and had
a good view of him; that she went in to the outside lobby of the
theatre while Edith bought tickets for the performance; that this
was the first time Edith had seen Mr. Wilson; that later they used.

Bradley, Miss Elisabeth
Harriet tells of a friend in Santa Barbara, Miss Elisabeth Bradley,
1808 De la Tina St., who is an expert automatic psychic writer,
vouched for by Dr. Worcester, of Boston. She says she has
asked her to try and get into touch 4th Anna.
June 30, 1925. 145
Harriet shows us a letter from Miss Bradley, enclosing a copy of a
message filcm Anna. Miss Bradley said there were some things Anna
was unable to get over, ad she was in doubt about the signature,
but she took it down as it was given to her.
The following is the message:July 19.
Anna will write:His way is best.
Let them think of all the ways I might
http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Bradley, Miss Elizabeth (0ant'd.)
have taken that could lead to such sorrow, and I have taken
the one that leads to joy to work to good.
Message is love, and understanding of much will come if you desire
it and love Anna still, not as gone, but as living, hoping,
giving help, seeing good, living more because with greater
iroight and knowledge, giving all aid and giving such love that
Toll than I love them still.
Living am I.
Addee."
Miss Bradley said the words "Living an re were in letters an inch high.
We were extremely interested and yet somewhat puzzled at this
message and have asked Harriet to ask Miss Bradley to try again.
The large letters- "Living am I" are certainly characteristic
of Anna. The signature to us looks very much like the way Anna
signed her name.
We have asked to have the original sent to us.
July 25, 1925. 153, 154
(ror the original, see separate package of Miss Bradley's letters.)
Miss Bradley's first letter to Harriet Was dated July 20, 1925.
contained a copy of the above message.
This
Harriet sent 1215 the original message to Geneva, Aug. 19, 1925.
Miss Bradley, by letter of Aug. 11, 1925, to Harriet sends another
massage from Anna, as follows:August 9.
"LW. and E.B. are guarding and Anna will write alone
today.
Tell my parents alive is Anna. Alive Anna. Let them know
that I
am living, loving) happy, full of joy and so anxious they
should
feel my presence near than, aid them, help them.
Tell them Anna is living her life and her message is
given.
Anna.
In the above letter, Miss Bradley, spearing of the first
message,),
said:
"I never felt anything, I think, like the force with
which that "Living am I" leas vritten. It left me tremblin
g
and excited...
"I have come to the conclusion that "Addeo" was a
mistake
"for Anna", for you will see over
the message of Aug. 9 that
http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Bradley, Miss Zlisab eth(Cont Id.)
that three times it wrote Ad mid. the pencil most vigorously
crossed it out and twice substituted "Anna," and you will see
at the end. of the first message that I doubted that it was
right but when I asked, just received faintly that the message
was given (N.E.B.)
It is another strEnge and convincing thing
about it that hcon the massage is over, the power seams to go
aid I can get only from my guides (E.B. and E.W.) the notice to
write no more. They tell me they guard me from making mistakes.
You will see that something was written at times and then crossed
out. That was done by the pencil. Indeed I have added nothing
to the paper except the date, the numbering and two words in
brackets, as the writing was not clear. The fact that the pencil
is not lifted to cross the t's makes it sometimes hard to read.
If you will turn to the other side of Number 1, you All see that I
began to write there that first Sunday and coald not get a good
connecticn. When I looked at itagain the other day I noticed
sane initials surrpunded by a circle and they seam to be A.E.H. could that possibly be her initials?
I did not think it at the
time for the real message had not begun but it might be.
The message of July was written so cpickly that the pencil raced fran
side to aide of the per, but that of Aug. 9 was elm, firm,
and sure and the pencil was thrown back as if the writer was
writing a back hand.
Is any of the writing like hers?
I have had writing in exactly the
writer's hand, but very rarely.....
(The description of the vigorous style of writing in the first message
is exactly characteristic of Anna.)
Miss Bradley wrote Harriet again on Sept. 15, 1925, enclosing copy of
a mese.ge given on Sunday, Sept. 13, and also part of the original:
"Sept. 13, 1925.
Give my parents the assurance that all I learned and all I
achieved on earth is not lost here. We use our knowledge
and. with peat satisfaction for we know that all is f or good.
His Light shines more clearly for us and although much is
still in the dark, we see much more surely.
We know with
such certainty that our souls are immortal. We know a joy
wiaich is comparable to nothing on earth. We feel lighter,
joyous, happy, and we want you to know how gently we are
treated and received. Here is my message and if Miss Bradley
is willing when I learn, I will tell you about it.
Anna.

Wooley tells ma that Mt. Wilson at first positively declined to
appoint McAdoo R.R. Administrator, although the Interstate
Commerce Commission, (of which Wooley was then a member),
thought it aught to be done; that he and Turaulty went to
Brandeis and finally convinced him it should be done; that
Brandeis rewired to go to Mr. Wilson about it but said that
if he asked him about it he would respond; that Tumulty told
Mr. Wilson that Brandeis thought McAdoo should be appointed;
that one Sunday afternoon Mr. Wilson called on Brandeis at his
apartment and asked his advice, and finally appointed McAdoo.

Cafeteria, Treasury
H.P.H. has an intervieN with Assistm. t Secretary Wadsworth about
the Cafeterias. She understocd him to say that the Treasury
wanted the cafeteria corporation liquicUt ed.
C.S.H. dactated a letter to Wadsworth asking if this was his attitude,
which H.P.H. .igned and. I sent.
Yesterday Wadsworth brought into my office a letter to H.P.H. saying he
did not want the cafeteria corporation liquidated, but wanted it
to go on as before, but under a new Manager. He said Co.I.SherriAl
should be appointed Manager, and. that Mrs. Shepard should resign.
He strongly objected to her salary of $2400. He said sane years
ago she Aias recalling only $1800 for managing 6 cafeterias, and
now got $2400 for managing one large one and one or two small
ones.
H. P.H. in her talk with Mr. Wadsworth had escnlainel that Mrs. Shepard
took over the work dons by the Assistant Manager and that her
husband gave his services gratuitously as bookkeeper, so that
she was really doing the work of three psoole.

He asked for some assurance from the Directors that they would. cooperate

H.P.E. had made up her mind to resign at his earnest solicitation
for zany months past, but mould of course cooperate ivith the
other officers until new appcintments, as desired by the Treasury,
were made.

C.S.H. has a meeting of all the officers at his office. After long
liseussion it was agreed that if Wadsworth writes me a letter
stating that the Treasury desired to have the corporation operated
directly by Treasury appointees, they would at once elect
Col. Sherrill, or any one else the Treasury wished, as Manager,
and that they would resign, one by one, and. elect other directors
suggested by his; but that, on the other hand, the reason for
Wadsworth's wishes was based on any charges against the cafeteria P.s
management, they should have full opportunity of hearing and

C.S.H. calls on Wadsworth and states the above to him.
C.S.H. also said that although there :Lay have been some complaints and
vague charges of inefficiency, he had told the directors this
was not the reason for the Treasury's present wishes; that the
real, underlying reason was the desire of the Treasury to take
over the management and become directly r3sponsib1e for it; that
if there were any charges a hearing must be bad..
•••
Wadsworth told C.S.H. he had stated the matter to the Directors correctly.
C.S.H. said the Directors wauld do nothing until they heard further
from hii, and he said we would shortly hear from him.
C.S.H. said the directors were ready to act at once, but Wadsworth said
it would be better to watt until after Jan. 1, 1925, and C.S.H.
agreed as the accounts for the full year 1924 could then be
adjust'ed.
Dec. 18, 1924. 9
Mrs. Shepard calls on C.S.H.; she said the Chief Clerk told-her the
Treasury did not want the directors to resign but merely wanted
her salary reduced; that he asked her if she would accept $50
per month, and she said No. She thinks the Treasury is beginning
to realize what a task it is, and is backinz down.
She sztid the cafeterias went behind $2000 last year, partly owing to
the claim of the Treasary for $800 for electric light.
She said the auditor of the cafeterias a3counts said an addition of
2 cents to every dollar recebred would bring them out whole this
year.
H.P.H. said tvo years ago the auditors told her that Mrs. Shepard's
then salary - $1800 - was too low for the services she rendered,
and that this was one of the reasons which prompted the Directors
to increase her salary to $2400.
Mrs. Shepard told C.S.H. she was acting as Manager, Treasurer, and auditor
of accounts, and time Jan2,1924, as bookkeeper also.

that she had not put down in the minutes, at the time, the
increase in her salary to $2400 in 1923, although it was considered. and voted at the time.
She asked if she could now insert these in the minutes of that meeting.
C.S.H. said if in fact this was so voted there could be no objection
to amending the records of such meeting, by the corporation.
C.S.H. spaice to H.P.H. about it and she said it was voted, and that it
was done at the suggestion of the expert accountant, who said
she was fairly entitled to a $3000 salary for the work she was
doing.
Later C.S.H. called up Mrs. Shepard and said that on reflection he
thought it was better not to ansnd the records at this time.
Mrs. Shepard said she would lo nothing about it. She said there was

Gov. Montague later showed C.S.H. a draft of the Wilson r.isoluticn,

C.S.H. thought the Wilson resolution was fairly good, although not
as strong as he would have made it.
Later it was reported and adopted, al also the Harding resolution,
without reading, as it was so late.
C.S.H. moved an appropriation of $4000 or as much as was found
necessary, as follows:
*Resolved that the sum of $4000, or as much thereof
as may be necessary, be, and the same is hereby appropriated,

said they did not change the League covenant in the sense of
being inconsistent with it, but merely developed it; that

He
said the economic sanctions would be sufficient psychologically

invented; that it was the .only hope for World
Peace; that it

Chamberlain, Austen (Cont'd.)
gave all nations the right to be hsard on all questions;
that statesmen could. meet in Geneva and talk more freely than
in their own capitals; that intercourse by letter led Nations
into trouble and. misunierstanding; that public opinion was
chrystallized in the L. of N.
He said that
He also spoke of the World Court and its importance.
advisory opinions were of vital importance; that the Court
rules provided for notice to every member of the League, and.
to other nations interested, and argent on Hearing; that if
the U.S. should accept the World Court urxier a reservation that
advisory opinions must be abolished, hs would say frankly that
much as the League of Nations wanted the U.S. to join, they
would not be willing to pay such a price.
The question was put to him whether Great Britain would accept a
reservation that there must be notice and a hearing in all
requests for advisory opinions. He, as well as Lord Cecil, said
the Court by rule required such Notice and Hearing and that a
:ect would be an insult to the members of
reservation to tl-at ef.
the Court, and. he believed they ..Nould re..ign rather than accept
such a reservation.
The question'was then put to hint whether Great Britain would accept
a reservation changing the name of "advisory opinions" to
"declaratory judkments," the questioner evidently assuming that
"declaratory ju.dgasnts" implied notice and Hearing.
Mr. Chamberlain said. No, but added that he sao no objection to the
U. S. joining the flourt, with a statement that it interpreted
the words "Advisory Opinions" tc mean "declaratory judoments."
Sen. Walsh said the feeling that advisory opinions should be clearly
defined was not as absurd as Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Cecil
seemed to think; that there was thnger that the Court might
become a kind. of private adviser of the League, - like an
Attorney General to a Dept. of our Government.

He said the Club sadly needed a Manager, and that the allocation of
expenses was carried much farther than necessary; that the
real test of a restaurant was the gross profit on food
purchased, - 10C% in the case of the Cosmos Club; that our
Club stood better as to this than any Club he knew of; that
the present plan of management through ccalaitsees was all

Mr. Roof had been a Class C Director, but decided to act in the
political campaign on a committee, - the chairman of the
State Rep. Caalittee.
In compliance with the Board's political circular
'he resigned as
Class C Director. The vacancy was not filled by the Board, apparertly the matter was overlooked.
Today the question arose as to whether he should nom be appointed,
he having separated himself from all political committees and work.
He was an invaluable man anct all the directors wanted him reappcinted.
Sen. Phipps called on C.S.H. and expressed the hope that, for the good
of the benk, he should be reappointed.
C.S.H. learned the Miller and Cunningham were opposed, and he went in
to see Sec. Mellon, who said he thought he ought to be reappointed,
and that he would come to the meeting, which he did.
Miller and Cunningham, the commitl,ee, reported that to reappoint him
would violate the srirtt of our political circular.
Miller talked at great length and said the Board should. have
the vacancy before the election.
fine
On inquiry it turned out that this was Miller's own fault as his
committee did not report the matter to the Board until after the
elections.
C.S.H. said the spirit of the circular had not been violated; that
Roof had resigned at once on taking the political position; that
if the Board had acted promptly another man muld have been
appointed; that the delay was not from any desire to hold the
position open for Roof, but entirely awing to the fault of the
committee; that a vacancy existed and there was no reason why
Roof, agreed to be the best man, should not be appointed.
Sec. Mellon strongly agreed with C.S.H.
C.S.H. moved that it was thd opinion of the Board that the
appointment
of Roof would not violate the circulariin form or in
spirit.
This was voted, Miller an -L Cunningham alone voting Nc.
Cunningham then said that assuming the circular as not
having been
violated, he favored Roof as the best man and moved his
appointment.
Passed, all voting km except Miller who voted No.

Gov. Crissinger, returning frcm the Directors meeting in N. Y., told.
the Board. that the Directors had. considered carefully the
recommendat ion of the Federal Advis ory Council that d.isc ount
rates should be increased to 3; that the business directors
all opposed this on the ground that business Ass dull and
depressed, and that it might have a further depressing effect;
that the banker director-s, •specially Mr. McGarrah, rather favored
the increase,feeling that it would. check the placing of
practically mrthless securities which were being put upon the
market in very large amounts.
Gov. C. also said the directors were very indignant at the remarks of
certain members of the Federal Reserve Board about them, which
had been repeated to them, - referring, Gov. C. .said, to Miller,
Jame , and Cunninghem.
Gov. C. also said that Sec. Mellon at first thought tates should not
be increased before the March 15 financing, but firally reached
the conclusion that if any change was to be mad.e, it should be
made nal, as if made after an issue of Treasury seettities it
would cause hard feeling.
Gov. C. said some of the N. Y. directors believed. that the market had
already discounted the effect of an increase of rates, whith
the market regarded as inevitable.

Finance drafts
Wyatt, in his memorandum on the McFadden bill, without any direction

of Sec. 13 of the Federal Reserve Act everything relating to the
acceptance power of memberbanks and substituting a clause giving
them the right to accept drafts drawn by custam,q-s for not over
90 days, - thus giving them power to accept pure finance drafts
both in the export and import trade, and alwo in domestic
acceptances.
C.S.H. asked Wyatt why he aid this and he said Kanzel of the FeJ3ral

Anna said she had. something she was te-.iger to ',ell us but could not
get it through. She spoke with great humor of the number of
relations who were with her, and. es, id she Imew much we did
not know and that it was her power to help us.
Sud.denly the writing stopped and Mrs. Gavit said they vanted to talk
to us through her.
She then put a handerchief over he eyes and leaned badr in the chair.
Than, after awhile, she said. Joe and. Anna were to talk through her and
give us a test so shun that there was no telepathic influence
on Mrs. Gavit exercised by us.
The following is a coi-,y of the first writing:
Jce:
“We are here. We malt to say to you that there is no need to
question we are all as anxious as you are to get to you.
Can't you see us just hungry to be near you. Golly, Moth3r,
but we are so hungry to talk to you, - all of us.
It is hard to know you are so anxious."

But I can't talk fast enough.

Joe:
We are just chuckling for we are so glad to be here. Just
wait a minute. We have been listening to your
eulogies of your angel children. We are not angels.
You were mighty good parents - we agreed. to that. We hold
little ueetings over here on this side and. talk about you.
Anna and I almost cane to blogs about our mothers.
(Joe says is tuning up.)
Some one is saying I mist hurry up.
Anna:
I 'want to spede'l. Please let me speak. This is Anna'. Father
and. Mother I am speaking,. Pm trying to be patient.
It's hard work. I can speak to you, mother. I know I
could and. we understand each other. It's so easy.
I'm trying to be vary polite and. not push. I'd like to
just jump rivht in end chatter. I could. tell you so much.
Do you want me to go back to the beginning and. tell you
that coming over was so easy. It was just sleeping and
waking in this beautiful land, with the poszAbility of
still being with you. I couldn't bear it if I couldn't
be near you., but I all near you. Joe says it is just as
I feel, that be couldn't bear to be over on this side
without his parents. It seers curious that I am hap-i71,
but I am very happy. But everyone is so good to me. I
have so many relatives and so many friend.s. Wasn't it
curious that a dear boy (.1.-4-1 get over. Said. he just could
not stand it, had. to get hers too.

against anything new of the kind, but I had lots and lots of other
things.
I can go more

that I ever could go before.
A fact. I am telling the truth and you know I never lied. Did,I,
Father? I krow he answers. He doesn't have to talk, but I want
his mind free for ma to use. I can use it. I can tall.
; to him,
I can talk through him and you can ive me a great deal. I still
can read with you. Don't forget it. I can read the thoughts as
you read the pages, and I can still live with you.
We are all studying and loving over here, - listaninti- to talk from
our earth friendE.
Some of it We get from
great leaders over here. My, what a chance
for us! To sit at the feet of these great ones, Mother, I have
seen some of the great ones here we have read about. More and
more we seam to live in the light. It's hard to put it In words.
We just bathe in the light. We are happy and we have fun. We
are not solemn always any more than we were. (Pause.)

Glass, Sen.
C.S.H. asks Glass how Ha ton became Sec. of the Treasury,
reminding him of his statement to C.3.H. that President Wilson
was going to appoint him
Glass said Wilson was in grave doubt whether to appoint C.7.H. or
Leffingwell; that he told hid C.S.H. was admirably equipped
for the position but that he did not sea how he could be
spared from the Federal Reserve Board; that he was absolutely
indispensable to its success.
He said he thought very likely that Crane secured Houston's
appointment. He said the F.R. Board needed a complete
reorganization and that if he had been nominated and elected
President, he Aould have reorganized it.
C.S.H. told him of Crane's statement that Houston was practically
President for two years, at Which he smiled.
He said he remembered how Mr. Wilson had to ov4airule Houston and '
Hoover in the matter of pork, which they were insisting that
the allies must continue buying under their contract at a
very high price, although they no longer needed any and had to
borrow from us to pay for it; that they wanted the purchases
to continue to prevent a collapse in price, which would have
shown a loss tn their books; that Wilson maae them put an and
to it. Glass said one day he jokingly told Wilson at at one
time he was absolutely "possessed" by Hoover, — that he had
pulled the wool over his eyes; tat. Mrs. Wilson said laughingly
that this was true, and even Mr. Wilson laughed also.
He said. Mt. Wilson came very n ,- ar openly denouncing McAdoo when he
came cut for the bonus; that he never favored Houston for
President. He was very bitter against McAdcc for throwing
his vote in the Conveynticn for Meredith, altho he sa.id now he
was not sorry, as the nomination would have killed him

Hamlin, Anna (Cont'd.)
At the dock we were it by Captain Hoskins, the Aide of Gov. Asser,
Mr. Honey, the American Consul, General Oliver, Marion
Oliver and others.
They put us in the carriage of the Governor General ana drove us to
the cottage at Mr. Buck's Where Anna haa spent he first
part of her vibit. The cottage was vacant, and Mr. Buck had
put it at our disposal as his
Anna's room h.J.d been on the Eround floor, enc,'. tIr. Lynk, an artist
and. partner of Mr. Buck, had turned it into a beautiful chapel.
The room was buried with summ3r flowers, and. :t one end. was
an altar with a crucifix and candles.
The sun out side was shin:rig and. it was a lovely sinner'a day.
In the center stood the casket, covered with a pall of raster lilies.
Anna looked so calm, peaceful, and beautiful. Her shroud was a
pink negligee which she had. made herself. In her folded.
hands she held a &mil crucifix which Marion Oliver had. kept
for her own d.eath, blartdnich she preferred that Anna should have.
For over an hour we remained kneeling alone by the casket, and. thinking
of Anna and the :lays that were .1.o more. I can not bear to
r.ri te further.
Laiy Asser wrote us a beautiful note saying that the Governor zind she
-,/ould call at once if we felt able to see her, and. that
perhaps we would like to come up to Government House to see
Anna's room. She said. they had placed the whole day absolutely
at our disposal.
She c.a.so sent us a typewritten memorandum giving all the details of
Anna's illness. (See printed, matiorandwn of C.S.H.)
We made an appointment to call at Government House in the afternoon.
Dr. Wainwright also called.
Mrs. L. J. Loader, one of Annals nurses, called and gave us a letter
from Anna, written Saturday afternoon, April 25, just before
her second operation.
"Dearest Father taxi Moth-,r,

Hamlin, Anna (ConZ:d.)
Miss Loader said Anna. went through the first operation wonderfully,
- nci was in- fine spirits; that she feared it might be cancer;
that she was cool and brave, her only fear being for our anxiety;
that she was con sci us aftsr the 6 aconi operti en, and knew
the nurse, Lady Asser, end lilarion Oliver; that from time to
time she wandered and. said sal-lathing about az-incuncing her enga ment, but the nurse thought was was wandering; that once she
asked her, "Till you swear tha I am goinfr- to recover?", but she
gave an equivocal answer and Anna forgot to precs her.
Miss Loader said she was the bravest patient she ever saw; that she
had. no fec,r, but merely worried for us; that everyone in the
hospital loved her.
At 3 p.4. we drove to Govt. House and spent an hour with Gen. and
Lady Asser. They each scid they loved Anna as if she were their
adopted child.
We then drove to the hospital a,n4 saw the roan wher3 Anna died.
At 6 p.m • Rev. P. J. Cooley of .thr3 Rectory, Pe.get, held. a short
mmiorial service at the cottage. There were present:
The Gov. General and staff
Lady Asser
Mr. arid Mrs. Honey, the American Consul
Mrs. Charles E. Hughes
and many others
At 7 p.m. the casket was boxed. The inside of the casket
was of metal with a piece of glass at the top. I had the
undertaker take off the metal lining, Aid I cut off a lock
of Annals hair. We both gave the body a farewell kiss,ard
the coffin was boxed, and covered again with lilies and
remained there for the night.
April 2. Tuesday
At 8. am the casket was taken to the steamer.
During the night I felt distinctly Annals presence, saying
to me, "Cheer up, it is not what it seems."
Every room on the ship had long sine been taken, but the
Captain told ug he would gladly kti vs us his cabin.
The Gov. Gen. and American ConJul, havever, took
the matter in hand and. finally secured for us one
of the bast roans on the ship, Aith a private bath
'which had been given up.At 11 a.m., we sailed back,

Just tefcre sailing I cabled Ned to arrange for the ftneral at the
Church of our Saviour, Lowwood, and to ask Bishop Lawrence to
officiate.
While on the ship, I received an answer from him
that all arrangements had been made.
On landing in N. Y. we found a tcuching telegram frca. Mrs. Wilson,
and later some sweat letters.
On landing, Pierre Jay, and others met us, and we drove to
Mr. and Mrs. Dean Sages apartment to wait for the 1 p.m. train
to Boston.
For details as to the funeral, see the memorandum of C.S.H.
At the close of the funeral, while Bishop Lawrence was giving
the coraultal, he broke down and cried like a Child.
We chose the following hymns for the funaral:
"The Fight is won, the Battle o'er."
(Old hymnal 121.)
"Jerusalem my Happy Home." (402)
"Fur all the Saints."
(176)
We received in all about 1600 letters, telegrams and cables of

Gen. Asser sent me one letter fram hic friend Mr. E. F. Darrell of

38 E. 57th St., N.Y.
..... I hardly know how to express my feeling of
sadness for that you all must have endured by tho sudden
death a that charming young lady I met at Government House,
and I Lope you will extend to Miss Hamlinfs fanily the
sz,mpathy which as a parent I can not help feeling for them.
I sat next to her just one night at dinner, and was "won"
by her great charm to such an extent that I feel I have
also lost a friend ....

On Mkty 24, 1925, Gen. Asser vcote us the following, letter;
"Dear Mr. Haaain:
Many .thanks for your letters. I was very i_-,lad to hear
from you for when you visited us we all felt too overwhelmed. to
express our feelings at all cla vly, and this gives me an
opportunity of having a talk with you, as it were.
It is good of you to express feelings of gratitude towards
us, but do not it it in that way. Naturally we did all we could
fcr the child, Nat as you culd 'navl done had it been our
Madeline with you, and we feel we have not earned your gratitude,
but rather that we share your grief with you.
Poor little Anna had much endeared herself to us, and.
we treated her as one of ;he family, and. e o regarded her. Her
illnass in itself caused us great consternation, but our chief
anxiety was the absence of :Ars. Hamlin and yourself. If you could
have been by her side it would, have meant everything to her, and.
it was heartbreaking to laiow that and to have to acknowledge
that the poor child must go through all her suffering without having
her mother at her side. It was some comfort to us to see how she
turned, to my wife ,..nd seemed to lean cn her.
That 'evening of the second operation, the called us frau
the hospital to say that Anna had e,pressed a wish to 619 her
as soon as he ore round, so evidently she felt that she had
some one of sympathy and understanding by her.
But there was so little that we could do, she was taken
out of our hands so quickly. We felt all along that she was happy
with us and we felt not only a fgeat affection for her, but she
Interested us greatly. She had..such o. good brain ar.d faocinating
little personality and we liked Madeline being her friend, for
W9 felt that she was s cund..
How we viish we could have met you both under different
circumstances. We had heard so much about you both from finna
and frora the Oliver s, and had looked forward. to acme day meeting
you.
We were so glad. to hear tbat Mrs. Haralin is bearing up
-ell. A Lan at such times hau his work to fall back cn and. help
him, but A. mother is left stranded, and. she will find life vary
hard without this bright little soul.
My wife joins me in sincere regards to you both.
Very sincerely yours,
J. Assar."

"My decz Mr. Hamlin:
On my return here I find your letter of the 2nd. And
no,v your beautiful silver box haa arrived. It is most kind.
of Mrs. Hamlin and yourself, and I know my wife will appreciate
your kind thought as deeply as I do. We shall never need a
reminder of poor little Anna, - her charm and personality made
too deep an impre::sion on us, - but we shall always regard this
box as an expressim of your feelings towards ourselves when
We were brought together by this great tra.gedy.
To us it will
always seem a gift from her, a remembrance of the lisp py days
she spent here, and she certainly was happy, and I think my
wife will have the same feeltng.
I was so vary sorry I was unable to sae you at Washington.
I was terribly rushed. and, had to s.i.e the Ambassador, and, of
course, the Slocures had. all sorts of thingx to show to me.
But I look forward to SOLIS day seeing your beautiful capital

"My dear Mrs. Haallin:
I have wanted to write you ever since you left, but I
knew you would, be inundated with letters, and so I waited. until
yours came yesterday.
You have never been out of my thoughts, aid. I knew just
what a fight you are making, and how desperz.lt ely hard. it is
going to be for you to carry on, - and keep a brave front to
the %Acrid. Knowing Anna for the short tire we did, we all loved
her, and each de,v she developed some new trait or some charm.
I have never known a girl of her yeark,
, with such mental poise,
and on all sides her del-ith has been felt. I have had. letters

Lady Asserts letter (Contld.4)
upon letters about her, even frcrn people who merely sat
no323 her at dinner, yet became fascinated with her at once.
I do feel the child. ..as ha,opy with us. Those last few
weeks she looked. so extraordinary well. She t old me only
a few days before her illness that she had not felt as
well for years, and she could do anything. I know how
she was counting on getting back to you both. She so
often spoke of you both and with such real love and.
appreciation, and I thought how fortunate you were to have
such a child.
I feel I did so little, and nothing that you would.
not have done your self had the case been reversed, and. I
keep asking myself all the time if I might not have done
something else that could have been done.
We none of us realized how ill she was until Thursday
night after the consultation, rd my one consolation is
that even had I cabled you on Wednesday when we all thought
it merely an attack of indigestion, you could not huve
reached lora sooner.
Oh how I prayed that you might get
here in time, and. my heart ached for you both. It was
all like a hideous nightmare and even now it hardly seems
as if it could have been true. My dear, I vl. sh I could have helped you more. Your husband felt it, thought he
is lucky in having his work to absorb his mind, but you
have nothing like that to help you, and. must just fight
it out alone. This is always the difference between the
woman and the man, and. it is always no much harder for
us, for we think, think, think.
Marion has been very ill again. I am afraid she is
much worse than any of us realize, and. shall be so thankf,51
when she gets to Baltimore and has been X-rayed.. That poor
old. couple. The darlings are so worried about her, and
they have had. a most anxious winter.
I am hoping; to go and see the Slocums again next
summer, 1926. I will then lock forward to seeing you.
I feel as if we must be frierxis for Anna was very dear to
me, - I treated her as if she was my own child. I used to
call her my adopted daughter.
My kindest regards to your husband. and my heart
sympathizes for you both.
Yours aff ec ti ona.t el y,
Leila Asser.

Dr. Miller came into my office and. spoke very feeliny about Anna.
He said he considered her one of the most remarkable girls he
had 3v31' met, as well as one of the most intelligent. He said
that in 1920, b ef ore Anna,s op ar at ion, he had been away frcre
Washington scree weeks in Sorrento, I think, and zominc ov-r to
Bar Har'lor he met Anna at lunch. He asked. her what had transpired. at Wa,shingt,..n, and he said she gave him a wonderfully
di seeming and intelligent acconnt, showi ng a keen ower of
condensation ani remarkable perceptive.
133
Some time before Anna's death, Baron d. Cartier, the Belgian Aibassador,
told C. S. H. he coneiderd Anna one of the most remarkable girls
he had ever met; that she was rarely beautiful, of keen mental
poise, and a remarkable converEationalist; that she could play with
her fellow girls or entertain Ambassadors at fomel ainners with
equal facility; that she had a keen sense of humor also which
charmed everyone who came Into contact with her; that, in short,
she was a rarely attractive personality.
May 28, 1925:
Out of all the gloom and despair I ea. begindlig faintly to see
sorea light. The beautiful character of Anna looms '22 before me,
and I feel her preserce with me. She had every gift, great
beauty, a:lovely disposition, a keen intelligence,and an
irresistible sense cf humor. She was a high spirited, girl,
full of the joy of livinr. She mad.e a profound irnpressicn
on all who met her. She waa 'ell read, thoroug-Ily versed
in political history and a most interesting conversationalist.
She really had. livod fifty years within the compass of
twenty-four.
Prole what the surge ona ee.id, I am fearful that, haa she survived
the second operation at Bermuda, she might have lived under
the constant danger of further adhesions and consequent
operations, that, in short, she might have had a sword of
Damocles constantly hanging over her head, - a terrible flitu.re
to look forward to.

Dr. Mitchell called on us and for an hour talked about Anna.
He said everything appeared to have been done at Bermuda which
could have been done, although he admitted to rae that if he
had. been there he would probably have operated. earlier.
He said that while Arina was always pale she was not a weakling,
but, quite to the contrary, etvs of strong physique; that.
while, after four years, the d.Linger of adhesions producing
stoppage was almost nil, yet that he knew of ale case developing

after 15 years.
He :aid that Anna's paleness could not account for her original
thrombosis; that it occurred with the strong as -ith the weak;
that if we knew it was co.sing there was g":solutely nothing
known in medical science to prevent it.
He said that if Dr. Tucker was correct in his staiiement that her
intestires were filled with adhesions, her case was almost hoe-
Anna was first seized with pain on Wednesday, April 22, ,t 6 p.m.
When Dr. Wainwright first c;aw her, - Thursday at 2:30 a.m. she
had 1-)een ill 8 hours. From Wednesday at 6 p.m. until Friday
at 7 a.m. when th3 operation took place, was 37 hours. Thus
the gangrene from the stoppage was allowed 37 hours to run
before the operation.
It is, of course, idle to epeculate, but I can not resist the feeling
that had the operation been performed earlier, the result might
have been different.

to the Boatd, and that a discussion ensued in which it developed
that on April 15th When the license to export gold was Franted
to a Philadelphia bank rhich was carrying Mush.sr, no member of
the Board knew that Mr. Bolling had. any connecticn with %cher
or his corporation. Gov. Herding in his lettsr to Till lams
further stated that the Board's decision to grant the license
"was based entirely upon the peculiar circunstmces of the ease,
as described in my letter to il'uraulty, dated April 12, ...tnd upon
the views of the President as set forth in his lttter to me of
April 15th."
H, fLrther said in his letter to Williams that hic understanding
was that the offer which Williams he.d. made to Mr. Bolling of a
position in the office of the Chief National Brtnk Examiner in
New York was of no concern ta the Board, as the statutory requirement that the Board should fix the sal,Lries of all national bank

Hitchcock, sen.
Severely criticises President Wilson at the Non-partisan League
dinner in Washington on the evening of the Lord Cecil dinner
in N. Y.
While in parts he praised Mr. Wilson, the whole tone of his address
was an apology fcr his failure as t o the League of Nations.
He said Wilson went to Paris without consulting his friends; that
he refused to put a.Senator on the Commission, altho it lay
with the Senate to approve or reject the Treaty; that this killed
at the outset all possibility of success; that he did not know
hoa to handle. mr,; that he could not do as Roosevelt did, throw his arms around a Congressman's neck and wheedle a
battleship out of him; that thls inability to "stoop to concluse
was his undoing.
His
was Erossly unappreciative and unfair to President Wilson.
His address might almost have been delivered by Sen. Lodge
cc any of the "irreconcilables", who wanted to down Wilson
with faint praise. Considering that he adviaed Wilson that
the Versailles Treaty could be ratified without reservatisnE,, it
was all the more extraordinary.
94dx es s
He must have known that, wholly apart from this case, there is a
strong feeling that Senators should not be appc irted cn Treary
CoLimissi ens when the Treaty must come before them for ratification.
If he bad put a Senator on this cmission, the irreconcilables woul*
have charged him with trying to buy the Senate.

not be true.
She then asked C.S.H. what the cause of the break was.
C.S.H. was careful not to let her kmow that he IL:4 any personal
knowledge or elvgn that he was a, great friend of Mrs. Wilson,
and replied that, of course, he only knew What the history
of the League proceedings reveals, and added that the rumor
was doubtless crs of those silly rumors which float around
about everyone in the public mind.
C.S.H. aided that the history of the League proceedings shove two
facts which alone would be sufficient to explain the break:.
1. When President Wilson returned to Paris from Washington
he found that Col. House had cemented, without any
authority from President Wilson, to having the
League covenant dropped from the Versailles Trety.
2,
That Col. House greatly embarrassed Presitient Wilson by
trying, behind his back, to secure a compromise on
Fiume, although he fully knew Mr. Wilson's attitude
and that of the American experts handling the
question, - these latter having told Mr. Wilson there
waa no justice in the Italian claim; that Lansing had
charged in his beck that Col. House, had given the
Italians to understand that Mr. Wilson waa an the
point of %ccepting the Italian view. C.S.H. added
that these two facts alone would explain the break

made by Col. House. Lansing said unquestionably yes; that House
consulted with Dr. Mazes and repeatedly made the above statements
tc Cellars and the Italian delegates; that House also told 4-,hem
that the Ame.rican Com-ission favored the Italian view, much to
the indiznation of the American experts charged with the duty of
studying the Italian claim; that House deceived. President Wilson

that he and Mr. Wilson were hopelessly antagonistic.

the price paid was 90,000.
Fhe then said McAdoo had bought a big place in California.

list of all presents was given to Congress.
She then said it was outrageous that Mr. Wilson would not consent to
a coalition cabinet during the wEr, as Lincoln did; that it
revealed narrow partisanship.
Bettie replied that Lincoln had a very disagreeable time with his

the danger of adhesions prodwing stoppage is almost nil, yet

Britain bring the pouni sterling to per and to repeal the
.
1d exports; that if not done now, it might
prohibition against 0
be a long time before it could be done; that a loan of 500
millions mtuit be placed in the U.S.; that the Federal Reserve

but merely wanted to be kept in touch with our actiolg that our
rates must be lower than theirs to protect British parity; that
Great Britain would be willing to go up even to 7% it necessary;
that be asked for no contract but merely for a voluntary
assurance that we believed it desirable for sterling to rise to
par and remain there; that he wauttott help from us in the my of
future credits if the necessity should arise, - C.S.R. told
Goy. C. that the U.S. from a purely selfish view should favor

thought the Caney correspondence would not allow that Olney
sustained Wilson in the Princeton controversy; that this

Olney, Richard (Contld.0
of an editorial praising Wilson, but not specifically
retracting the editorial of July l'?.
The correspondence also showed that Olney received a letter from
O'Brien stating that Res. Cleveland knew of a letter of
President Cleteland to a Mr. Bailey of Utica, severely
criticising Mr. Wilson, and that Olney replied that President
Pinley told him that Mrs. Cleveland told him she knew of no
Such letter; that Olney asked O'Brien if, when he wrote the
editorial of July 17, he knew that President Tinley entirely
disagreed with Mrs. Cleveland in her aspexsions on Wilson's
character and added that Tinley's jtsigment in the matter was
entitled to infinitely greater weight than Mrs. Cleveland's;
that on Aug. 14 Olney wrote O'Brien that he should correct
the aditorial.
The correspondence also shows that O'Brien wrote Olney that
N. C. Benedict caw out for Wilson and that Mrs. Cleveland had
written him deploring his disloyalty to President Cleveland.
This correspondence reveals nothing C.S.H. did not Imam before,
except that I thought Mr. Olney told me he had been offered
a retainer to give an opini on as to the Wilson controversy,
whereas now I am satisfied that what Olney said was that he had
gone into the matter 4th as much care 'JUL he had been given
a Sitainer.
So far as the references to Mrs. Cleveland are concerned, C.3.11.
already knee this frea other sources. In fact O'Brien once told
him that Mrs. Cleveland inspired the editorial of July 17,
1912.
See my early diaries.
July 3, 1925.
1461 14'?, 149
The correspondence contains a copy of a letter to Miss Loring of
Washington in which Olney strongly indorses Wilson.

Tyler said C.3.14 was to take no copies nor make any use of the
correspondence until I conuurd.cated 4th him, except that he
did say I could tell Ray Eitannard Baker of the two Conklin
letters of Aug. 11 and. Sept. 4, 1912, and if Prof. Conklin
agreed he would offer no objection to Baker's inspecting the
letters, - which he now intended to file in the Congressional
Library with Mr. Olney's other correc ondence, but which he had
hitherto kept not to be filed.
(No use should be made; therefore, of the
above

Gov. Strong said his bank would put up the acceptance rate to 3% on
Monday and await events.
Miller insisted it should be put above the discount rate, - 3%.
Gov. Strong said. this would be ridiculous.
Miller insisted that acceptance rates should be increased to a point
where acceptances would be driven out of the Federal Reserve
balks, just as if they were contraband or immoral.
Dr. Stewart said we ought to sell some Govt. securities and Gov.
Strong said. very likely they would.

Miller said we should sell Govt. securities to prevent speculative
business coalitions in the future.

There are now no each speculative conditions in business.
C.S.R. said it would be sufficient to approve the report without
laying down a general declaration favoring deflation, as Miller's
resolution did. .
Miller's resolution was defeated. by a tie vote, C.S.R. voting No.
Platt moved approval of the committee report, which was voted.
Miller seems to think any improvement in production is suspicious
and should be at ores counteracted by higher rates or by tightening
the money market by sales of Govt.
securities.

Coolidge mad he were much distorted over the relation of the

C.S.H. this morning, offered a motion that the by-laws be amended
making the whole Board a committee of the whole for consideration of open market matters, dissolving the special committee,
Miller mad CUnninghmn.
Miller vigorously objected.
C.S.H. asked Miller how often his specie.l committee met. He replied
they did not meet regularly.
James told C.S.H. that Cunningham told him it
met.
In view of Hoover's statement to James as to N. Y. domination, and
cf the fast that Miller's committee never meets, C.S.E. believes
bis motion should be passed, ars' we could discuss open market
matters each Thursday after Dr. 8te.art's report.

Open Market Ccmmittee (Cont'd.)
C.S.K. agreed to let the motion staid for awhile, because it would
require a change in the by-laws. Fran this time on, however,
all open market matters were considered by the Board in committee
of the whole. The change was not jormalli voted until
Jan. 5, 1926. (See Vol. XI, p. 74)
If Miller was responsible for Hoover's statement as to dcmination, he
really was indicting himself far his committee had completely
fallen down, never even meeting, as Cunningham said to James.

President Coolidge; that he knew just what he wanted and how to

that he intended to dominate; that not long ago some Congressmen were asking for some anointment and. that the President
said, - "You are asking a favor, now let me ask everyone who
intends to support my Postal salary veto lift up his hand;"
that only 2 out of 8 did so; that the President said - "That
is about that I e2pected," sal that this closed the interview.

Peck, Mrs.
Robert 'coley told C.B.H. that a newspaper correspordent told him
that Everett Colby, a bull mooser, in 1912, wanted to use
Wilson's letters to Mrs. Peck, but decided there was nothing
in them discreditable to Wilson; that Sheldon, Treasurer of the
Repub. National Commit tee, admitted spending a large amount of
money to get hold of them, and &owed them to Col. House, and
they agreed there was nothing in them except that some might
possibly be called "mushy."
now
C.S.H. asked Thompson why the Department of Justice investigated
Mrs. Peck, as she alleged in her "Liberty" artirles, and he said
she was under suspicion of havirt relations with Germany, and might
rely on wilson's friendship to shield her.
Dec. 20, 1924. 17
Mrs. Borden Harriman told Bertie Dec. 22nd at the Women's Democratic
Club that, when a girl, living in Bermuda, she was warned to have
nothing to do with Mrs. Peck, as she was very pay and-"off color"
and created much gossip; that she belonged to a very prominent
family in Pittsfield, Mass., that she had a terrific "affair"
with Lord Fisher which lasted over two years; that even the
sailors laughed at it and called him "Peck's bad boy;" that the
rumor was she did. her best to catch the brother of Lord Kitchener
when he was Governor of Bermuda; that he died suddenly, Mrs. Peck
said, of a broken heart, because she refused to marry him.
She also said that one year, prior to 1912, probably 1911, Mr. Harriman
and McAdoo were in Bermuda and. most anxious to meet Mrs. Peck; that
she had met her at dinner and had. asked her to °A l; that she
telephoned her and brought them to meet her at tea; that they
counted 14 pictures of Mr. Wilson in the house, but only two were
signed by him.
iio
She also said that atter Wilson' s election as President, Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson took Mrs. Peck's house at Bermaxia, which excited much

C.S.R. talks with Randolph about the Peck letters. Randolph said
he was buying "Liberty* and reading them and thEt Edith mg
also looking thief over; that he was satisfied some one else
was writing then fa* Mrs. Peck; that years ago some friends
of Mr. Wilson succeeded in reading all of them End reported
there was nothing in them reflecting in the slightest degree
upon Mr. Wilson.
Jan. 17, 1925. 49, 50
C.S.H. tells Randolph of the rumor that Mr. Wilson retained Brandeis
in the matter of the Peck letters and says he wants to run it
down.
Randolph said that to the best of his knowledge and belief it was
not true, and suggested that C.S.R. spsak to Brandeis about it.
Randolph said he had heard, on good authority, that the Publishers
had advised Mrs. Hulbert (Peck) that her articles were not
interesting enough to publish in book form and that she had
given up the plan.
C.S.H. asked him if Mrs. Wilson would be offended if, some time,
he should allude to the Peck letters and tell her how little
they had impressed the public, and he said, "Most certainly
talk to her. She will be glad to tell you all she knows about
them. Don't have the slightest hesitation to talk to her about
then or any other matter."

Newton Baker tells C.S.R. that the Peck letters had nude no
impression; that they revealed Mrs. Peck as an insincere woman,
e.g. where they showed that she never cut the lewtesc of a book
Mr. Wilson gave her.

Peck, Mrs. (Contid.)
Ordi
C.S.B. mists Robert !blithers on the ship going to Bennis. He
said his wife was the daaghter-in-law of MS s. Peck, her name
being Miss Peck; that his wife had a falling out with Mrs. Peck
and had not seen her for years; that the falling out grew out
of Mrb. Peck's friendship with Mr. Wilsor; that he had read all
of Mr. Wilson's letters to Mrs. Peck; that there was absolutely
nothing improper in any of them, but that some phrases went
perhaps beyond the bounds of purely Platonic friendship.

He said Mr. Wilson used to call up Mrs. Peck on the telephone two
or three times a week, and that all the operators who could
listened in.

"Dear Mrs. Wilson:
I have not had the pleasure of seeing you since that
day you lunched with us at Newport.
We all feel very sad, realising at the same time that
Anna Hamlin's death (or rather the possible causes of a
plausible nyder) has never ti' ought to light the reason
of her being at Government House, Bermuda. She died, the
report of her in the summer social register being (death
April 26, 1925) Govt. House, Bermuda.
She was a very close friend of mine as well as a first
cousin, - hence I with to see a copy of her certificate
of death.
Could I gain any clots or obtain information by
writing to Govt. House?
Hoping to see you again at Newport or New Port, I
remain,
Sin)erely
Hendridt Pruyn."

Bishop Rhinelander could be present as they were going into
the country to "gather flowers" on that day. C.S.H. asked him

Said that Gov. Norman came over to have an informal talk with him
as to the desirability of having Great Britain resume gold
payments and be put on the gold standard; that Gov. N. would
have liked to come to Washington and talk it overwith the
Board but that this would have given an official tinge to his
visit; that Gov. Norman felt that if the present opportunity
'sere not availed of it might be a long time before an opportunity
would come hgain; that Gov. N. wanted to know something of the
policy of the Federal Reserve System as to the future before
he could advise Great Britain to commit itself to the new step;
that he asked for and expected no agreexpent or contract, but
merely a frank interchange of opinions; that he felt that if
Groat Britain should adopt the gold standard and any sudden chanfe
of policy should be made by the Federal Reserve System, it
would be very injurious to Great Britain; that all he hoped for
was an expression of opinion that the Federal Reserve Board
favored as a deliberate policy either inflation or deflation

for the future; he hoped it favored rather general stability as
to credit policies with a view to avoiding sudden fluctuations,
either up or down, of discount rates; that he hoped that if
speculative commercial ccaditions should becane manifest, the
Board. would take the matter in hand and act decisively so as to
avoid sudden, large increases of di count rates in the future,
necessitated. by permitting such speculative conditions to continue
for an inordinate time before correction; that if such conditions
arose, he would prefer to have the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York ircrease discount rates from 3 to 4%, rather than to 30;
that Great Britain must keep its official discount rate higher
than the rates in the U.S., in order to hold the gold. standard,
if it adopted it; that Great Britain would need to place 500
millions of its bonis.in ths U.S. in order to have ample funds
for e:change pi.rchases; that it would be necessary for the Federal
Reserve banks to give the Bank of England gold credits for, say,
200 millions, and possibly more later.

Gov. Strong said, in reply to a question frau C.S.H. that, fir=
the purely selfish interest of the U.S. the return of the gold
standard by Great Britain and the continent, would be of the
greatest aivantage, preventing fluctuations in exchange and
stimulating our export trade, thus greatly helping agriculture
and co mere..
Cunningham asked if this meant pegging of prices of ccomodities
up cr down.
C.S.H. said No; that it merely meant stabilising of credits
without direct reference to prices.
Gov. Strong said all he asked. *as that he, as Governor of the

thinking it was purely a family lunch to discuss his plans for

decided not to go out at all in Geneva; that he told her that

of those which float around concerning everyone who is in the
public mind prominently; a reading of the history of the League
proceedings at Paris will reveal two facts which would be amply
sufficient in themselves alone, to account for the break?
1.
When Prost dant Wilson returned from Washington to Paris,
he found that Col. House, vithout authority from President
Wilson, bad consented to dropping the covenant of the
League from the Versailles treaty; that President Wilson
learned ct this from Col. House, only when he landed at
Brist, and later insisted on the covenant being put back
into the treaty.

Col. House greatly embarrassed President Wilson by trying,

Mrs. W. said C.S.H. almost frightened her at this illusion,
for at the time she was conscious of a peculiar ray of
light coming from near the speaker's desk completely
enveloping her and giving her most peculiar, almost
uncanny sensations, and that C.S.H. was, apparently, the
only other person who noticed it.
She said it seemed almost as if the spirit of Woodrow Wilson
was hovering over her.

Sen. Borah had quoted frau Wilson's popular history of the U.S.
to show that Trance helped us in the Rev. war from selfish
reasons. Sen. Bruce replied that Wilson's history is regarded
with very little favor by historical. students, remarkable as
in many respects Mr. Wilson's intellectual powers were.
Sen. Bruce added:
"I really do not believe that I cal recall a solitary
instance 'in which any real scholar has ever referred
to that work as a final authority on any subject."
I fear Sen. Bruce is prejudiced against Wilson. Every historian
knows that this book was written as a n_onytlar history and was
not intended to be a final authority.
