Colonel E. M. House to the Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Lansing: I know you are pleased with the action taken yesterday in the submarine controversy.54 I feel sure it will meet the approval of the best opinion of the country.

I have not had time yet to read Mr. Page’s article which you sent me, but I shall do so in a day or two.

I have a feeling that it may not be in the best of taste for an Ambassador to write complimentary articles concerning the Administration under which he is serving and is a part.

When Mr. Page comes we might take this up with him in person.

Sincerely yours,

E. M. House
