Widow of Franklin K. Lane Publishes Book on War Epoch- Intimate Picture of Wilson's Cabiinet Given in Letters of Forner Secretary
Boston, Oct. 24-(By the Associated Press)- A series of History making letters describing in detail the American war cabinet and giving an intimate picture of Woodrow Wilson as he appeared while presiding over the secret meetings of his official family, was made public today.
The letters, written by the late Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior in the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1920, have been published by the Houghton-Mifflin company. The volume is just off the press.
The correspondence reveals, among other things, how the president frequently lost patience with the tremendous problems confronting him and how at other times discouragement crowded him to such a degree that he was prompted to turn bitterly upon his advisors when they failed to agree with him.
The letters give a description of Mr. Wilson's attitude on preparedness before America entered the war; tell how he regarded the proposal to arm merchant ships, describe his opposition to anything approaching the "code duello" spirit at a time when the United States was neutral, and then, when great questions were pressing for decisions, tell how he encouraged his cabinet to talk of trivialities while he went along on his own counsel to solve the huge problems facing his administration.
"The president said he didn't wish to see either side win- for both had been equally indifferent to the rights of neutrals" Mr. Lane wrote to his brother on February 17, 1917, commenting on a particularly animated cabinet discussion.
On the subject of preparedness, even a few months before the United States entered the war, Mr. Lane quoted President Wilson as being "not in sympathy." Writing again to his brother, February 16, 1917, Mr Lane said:
"At our dinner to the president last night he said he was not in sympathy with any great preparedness- that Europe would be mad and moneypoor by the end of the war.
"On Friday we had one of the most animated sessions of the cabinet that I suppose has ever been held under this or any other president. It all arose out of a very innocent question of mine as to whether it was true that the wives of American consuls on leaving Germany had been stripped naked, given an acid bath to detect writing on their flesh and subjected to other indignations.
"Lansing answered that it was true. Then I asked Houston about the bread riots in New York. This led to a discussion of the great problem which we had all been afraid to raise-why shouldn't we send our ships out with guns and convoys? Daniels said we must not convoy-that would be dangerous. (Think of a secretary of the Navy telling of danger). The president said the country was not willing that we should take any risks of war. I said that I got no such sentiment out in the country. This the president took as a suggestion that we should work up a propaganda of hatred against Germany. Of course, I said I had no such idea, but I felt that in a democracy the people were entitled to know the facts. McAdoo, Houston and Redfield joined me. The President turned on them bitterly, especially on McAdoo, and reproached all of us with appealing to the spirit of the "code duello". We couldn't get the idea out of his head that we were bent on pushing the country into war"
In addition to his voluminous correspondence, which included letters to virtually every person of importance in the United States, Mr. Lane made many notes on incidents occuring in his daily life, among these were copious comments on the cabinet meetings.
Mr. Lane himself became discouraged at times. On January 19, 1920, he wrote:
"The whole world is shew-jee awry, distorted and altogether perverse. The president is broken in body and obstinate in spirit. Einstein had declared the law of gravitation outgrown and decadent. Drink, consoling friend of a pertrubed world, is shut off; and all goes merry as a dance in hell." She immigrated in 1870.⁴ She was baptized in 1900 in 2524 Gough Street, San Francisco, California.⁵
