Well, that is a matter to be taken up in the future and on which at the present time I would express absolutely no opinion.

I was very much interested this morning to have a visit from a delegation of the National Woman's Party.

I am having a little party at the Lodge on the afternoon of the 4th of July, partly so far as I am concerned in the celebration of that national birthday and personally in celebration of my own birthday.

I should like to have the newspapermen and the photographers come out.
