Henry Cabot Lodge informs President Roosevelt that he has received a letter from Senator White about a delay of the sittings for the commission in London because Lord Alverstone might go shooting. Lodge wrote to try to convince him otherwise. Senator Herbert spoke with Mrs. Nannie Lodge about a possible delay in the Tribunal meeting, which will conflict with other scheduled work. Lodge thinks the friends of the administration should be on hand in force for the “Cuban business,” but feels that he and Root should act on the commission. Lodge wonders whether the delay of the Tribunal is to force “us to resign” and get others who are more amenable. Lodge encourages Roosevelt to write himself to Lord Lansdowne to set things straight.
