That we did not succeed in our hopes to bring to the world a little greater assurance of the peace that must somehow be achieved is the unhappy fact that we must accept.1 Certainly you did everything that you possibly could to bring about a degree of civilized behavior in the arrogant and intransigent man from Moscow; no one could have tried harder. I applaud your efforts; no one could have done more.
As we have said in our meetings, we shall have to make a reappraisal of the facts of today’s world. I shall be in touch with you, I know, within the near future.2
Meantime, my thanks and warm personal regard.
