The Secretary of State to Colonel E. M. House
No. 3. German Foreign Office apparently has come to no decision on Lusitania. Strongly urged to meet our views by some of their people on ground that such action would in the end cause public sentiment to turn against England. Favorable action seems probable. British Ambassador thinks his country can make no further material concessions and expects a deadlock. Draft of English note in answer to our note to England98 now in hands of France for revision. In view of probable settlement with Germany resentment in Congress centering on England. Mexican situation causing trouble in Congress.
