of 32
Fond of the north country, Rublee
bought home in Cornish, N. H. He took
his wife to Europe for her health, progress
ing from spa to spa in the grand manner.
He has no side" as Stevens says, in his
dealings with people, but he does like the
elegant touch For II months, once, he
retained one of the countrys leading ten
mis- players to play with him alone.
When he returned to America he joined
the law firm of Joseph Cotton, Undersec-
relary of State for Hoover and many years
later the employer of Thomas Corcoran.
He was counsel in the Ballinger investi-
CATION, and he worked for the Government
in its prosecution Of the tobacco trust.
He helped Gov Bass Of New Hampshire
outwit the Boston and Maine Railroad
He worked hard for the Progressives in
1912.
Rublee joined the Allied Maritime Trans
port Council during the last year of the
World War at the behest Of Stevens. who,
as chairman of the Shipping Board from
1917 to 1920, was the American representa-
tive on the council. Rublee urged the
appointment Of Dwight Morrow to a place
on the A. NJ T. c. Wilson hesitated to
approve the choice of Morgan partner for
the post. but Stevens held out for Morrow.
He had faith in Rubee's recommendations.
Job Called for Leadership.
On the council Rublee had great oppor-
tunity TO display his resourcefulness and his
persuasiveness The councils job was to
divide among the allies and the United
States the shipping tonnage available The
demand exceeded the supply. When the
permanent secretariat made its decisions
about the division Of the tonnage, lit was
never certain whether the administration
at Washington would pay any attention
whatsoever to the lamentations of Ray
mond Stevens, George Rublee or Dwight
Morrow" Harold Nicholson remarks in
his biography Of Morrow. Rublee's tre-
mendous persuasiveness mitigated the
American representatives embarrassing
dilemma.
Morrow was so impressed with the Rublee
ability that when he was named AM
bassador to Mexico, he asked Rublee in
1923 to help him in Mexico City with the
labor problem and the church question.
Again Rublee was resourceful and per-
suasive and invaluable in assisting Morrow
to solve the many Mexican problems.
Rublee has declined number of offers
of jobs from the New Deal, principally be-
cause now he prefers the life Of private
man. He was looking forward to a stay
in his Cornish IN. H) home. But he
could not resist the appeal that he cope
with the refugee crisis which the conferees
OF 27 nations found so difficult during their
deliberations at Evian. France. South
and North America are almost the only
havens for the refugees. Rublee will have
an opportunity to try his persuasiveness
on the Latin Americans after his resource

problem of how to care for the men and
