Wiseman has investigated the Tagore matter and advises that you decline to have his book dedicated to you. His reason is that when Tagore was here he got tangled up in some way with the Indian plotters and Wiseman thinks that it might embarrass you if these things should come out publicly about the time the book was issued.

In the event you name a censor I would suggest Frederick Palmer, the European war correspondent who is now in this country. He is connected with no newspapers or magazines and yet is favorably known to them all. He has had great experience abroad in this connection and would know how to conduct a censorship with fairness to both the press and the Government.

Mr. Whitehouse is sailing for England the latter part of next week. He wants to go to Washington merely to shake your hand if you will give him that opportunity. Will you not let me know whether you can see him for a moment. He has been useful in the past and can prove more so in the future.
