Transcription: Left page   Governments should subsequently wish to have either no political organization or to have that separated from all other activities, it is quite possible to imagine in the new post-war conditions that the tri-partite ILO should take all these matters under their wing. If limits of competence are not defined, subject to the essential cooperation, there is no reason why the ILO should stop anywhere. War in itself is the final and greatest question affecting the lives of the workers and employers! The development of the classical idea of "lebensraum" can only have the classical result. 4 - The Secretariat and the League still suffer from the moral bankruptcy of the Unspeakable Joseph. Not only did he fail us completely in all that is looked for in a chief, but he plunged us at a critical time into an internal struggle for decency and (forgive me!) honour. For some months there was not one action or influence of his that was not undignified, unmoral and destructive. That is an old story but effects of it unfortunately still keep coming up again and again. The ILO had no parallel trouble in the crisis; Winant's leadership was at any rate honest and straight and they were at least free to face the external events, while the brilliant Phelan was as always calm, resourceful and forceful. Next to Albert Thomas he has been the most positive influence in the making of the ILO. But I think he is occasionally wrong! 5 - You will not misunderstand these remarks. I am firmly convinced of the great value and importance of the ILO and of its form of organization; great service can be obtained from it, I hope, particularly in the disturbed times after war. But I am not yet sure that there will be such a revolution in both internal and international affairs that will make the ILO the best form of organization for dealing with all kinds of international questions. It would mean two governements in every country, or rather in every democratically organized country. At the same time this very form of organization, rooted in the practical everyday interests of great organized national groups, has been and will be a source of tremendous strength to the ILO. 6 - The Bruce Committee played with the idea of extending this. I have no very clear strong convictions as to the Bruce plan of organization. At any rate one must remember that it developed during the period of rapid decline and that two principles inspired much of the support for it: one was the question of salvaging from the dissolving political organization valuable elements of technical cooper the other - allied - was to obtsin the support  Right page   other, of non-member States. On the latter point the USA. was especially en vue, but to some extent other departing Members who professed a desire to continue "technical collaboration" for which there was not an adequate arrangement for financial obligations. Loveday I think might go further than I as to the desirability of the scheme on the grounds of efficiency for the so-called technical work eliminating the unqualified diplomat from the controlling council. 7 - I cannot see myself in the role of a professional defender of vested interests, even of the Secretariat as a post-war organization. But I still need to be convinced of either the desirability or usefulness of any plan for the ILO to annex other technical work. If there is to be a "security" organization, I do not think it should be detached and kept in the air of what might be called pure politics. What a great role will be assigned even for security purposes to action in the economic and financial fields! If we are to have an international organization, I don't like to think, for example, of the circumstances which, when times are normal, would attend regular meetings of any such purely political body that had no other ostensible reason for meeting than a storm-cloud in the remote distance. Even if the old "publicity" policy be vastly modified. I am not developing reflections on these points,  but if there is to be rebuilding, one will have persistently to keep in mind the period after the first few post-war years. 8 - Please excuse the sketchiness and inadequacy of these dictated remarks. They are inspired by your visit to the ILO Conference. I am told, and I feel, there is little concern, little immediate interest, little confidence in Britain regarding plans for future international organizations, whereas one gets the impression of a different situation in the United States, not only in the non-official but in official quarters. If this is so the Lord knows there are obvious explanations. You personally I suppose have merely such questions as a part of other duties. I wonder if the time is not approaching however when a lead might be given to the British public.? Sumner Welles could publicly cry peccavi on behalf of the United States (was that a "ballon d'essai" and what happened to it?). Leadership is I think strong enough in Britain if the conviction were there to do the same, at any rate to the same degree. Of course there are grades of responsibility for the failure and perhaps we would not differ very much in our views there, but the failure was not I think in any very great degree due to the machinery. The public can be brought to

Dem Präsidenten der lutherischen Kirche in New York durch den ich die reiche Geldspende erhielt, habe ich einen großen Brief geschrieben. Ich schilderte die große Not unseres armen Vaterlandes u. bat ihn er möge doch veranlassen, daß in den deutschen lutherischen Kirchen für das arme Deutschland gebetet würde; denn nur der liebe Gott allein könne uns noch helfen u. wir würden an die Kraft eines solchen Gebetes aufrichtig glauben. - Daß die schwedischen Bischöfe sich in Amerika für uns verwendeten, hat bei mir große Dankbarkeit hervorgerufen. So Gott will zeigt sich uns auch wieder ein  rechts   Lichtblick, daß man etwas weniger traurig in die düstere Zukunft blicken kann. Große Freude durften wir durch die Gnade Euerer Königlichen so mancher schwergeprüften Frau bringen. Die reiche Spende wird viele Not lindern. Ueberall wurden mir warme Dankes- worte zur Uebermittlung an Euere Königliche Hoheit ausgesprochen. Wie schön ist es Anderen Hilfe bringen zu dürfen!
