The Counselor for the Department of State ( Lansing ) to Dr. Charles Noble Gregory 27
Washington
,
June 7, 1915.
My Dear Gregory: I found time at last to read carefully your paper on “Neutrality and Arms Shipments”28 and I wish now to congratulate you most heartily on the comprehensive treatment of the subject and the conclusive and convincing character of your arguments. I think you have left nothing unsaid and have deprived those who are clamoring for an embargo without a leg to stand on.
My regret is that the paper has not been given greater publicity. It deserves to be read throughout the country.
Very sincerely yours,
Robert Lansing
