 Before leaving the White House, he said: "A part of the message from Mir. Lind has come in and it has been shown to the president. The only comment to be made on it at this time is that it is "encouraging" and that is the only word that ought to be used as comment"
 There was distinct air of satisfac- tion on the faces of the officials at the White House on the receipt of this mes- sage and the view taken of it by the president and Mir. Bryan. It seems that the officials were pleased that the matter was still in the diplomatic stage, with the promise of continuing so indefinitely.
