Minister to Norway Peirce seeks help from Andrew Carnegie in advancing Elihu Root’s candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize. He recently learned that Jørgan Løvland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, feels Elihu Root’s actions in pursuit of peace were those of a government official. While this might be technically true, Peirce worries that Løvland “does not really grasp the situation.” A letter from President Roosevelt to the Committee might improve Root’s chances. Additionally, Peirce heard that Roosevelt denied Løvland’s request to come speak in Norway next year. As Roosevelt is giving an address in Berlin, and it is typical for Peace Prize recipients to speak in Norway, Peirce worries that this refusal will hurt the chances of another American “in public life” receiving the Prize.
