                    Dear Mr. President,                     
 
      I am so grateful to you for giving Dan Tobin this letter of introduction 
                              to me.                        
 
                                                            
 
 
I have had much interesting conversation with him. And I have 
      entertained him to dinner, once with the members of the Trade 
   Unions Council and once with the hard-faced men of busine
 
                                                            
 
 
I am bound to say that he seemed to enjoy the men of business 
     more than the Trade Unionists. It is the same old story
 
                                                            
 
 
He spoke twice and on each occasion gave a most splendid account 
      of wartime politics in the United States. His explanation of 
      your fixed and settled control in the face of much opposition 
      from newspapers was really very fine and did much good to his 
             audiences, particularly the businessmen.       
 
                                                            
 
 
I need not tell you that we have plenty of wartime politics 
      here. The Tory party is becoming the chief casualty, just as 
      in the last war the Liberal Party fell by the way. The Conservatives 
      have altogether lost their grip upon the electorate and their 
      cohesion among themselves. They make no
