Ambassador White recently travelled to the South of France to see the Great White Fleet, and he was highly impressed by both the vessels and the behavior of their crews. The day before the fleet departed he hosted a celebratory lunch for its commanding officers, French dignitaries, American diplomats, and American locals. White just attended a meeting in the Sorbonne amphitheater where Roosevelt will give his eagerly anticipated lecture next year, and he describes the space. On February 22 he will host representatives from the other “American countries” at a lunch honoring both George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. White hopes to encourage the celebration of this holiday in Latin American countries that Lincoln protected from European “annexation” with his adherence to the Monroe Doctrine.
