Colonel E. M. House to the Secretary of State

London, February 14, 1916—6:35 p. m.
[Received 7:06 p. m.]

Thanks for your information concerning the latest phase of the L[usitania] settlement.²³ Germany should, and I think will, agree to German Ambassador’s latest proposal. There are so many other issues involved in the controversy concerning armed merchantmen that I sincerely hope you will leave it in abeyance until I return. I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of this.

Edward House
