June 18th.—­Breakfasted with Hearst and co-ordinated him for half-an-hour with the editor of New York Life, a task needing the highest diplomatic qualities.  Flew to Harvard and delivered lecture on Mr. BALFOUR’S Theology as correlated with his style in golf.  A great reception.  Despatched report by wireless to London, Paris and Petrograd.  Returned to New York in the afternoon and co-ordinated UPTON SINCLAIR, Colonel ROOSEVELT, TUMULTY and CHARLES DANA GIBSON.

June 19th.—­In the morning dictated articles for the Novoe Vremya, Matin and Corriere della Sera, emphasizing the need of co-operative cosmopolitan co-ordination.  Flew to Chicago to deliver supplementary lecture to that given by ARTHUR BALFOUR on ARISTOTLE.  Took for my subject “Aerial Trade Routes, as co-ordinated with Terra-firma Routes for Motor-lorries.”  Enthusiastic reception.  Co-ordinative cold collation at 9 P.M. at Philadelphia with GOMPERS, ROCKEFELLER, Mrs. ATHERTON and BILLY SUNDAY.

June 20th.—­Dictated article on the New Diplomacy for The New York Journal.  In the afternoon co-ordinated the tenets of Shin-Toism, Christian Science and Mormonism.  A heavy day.

June 21st.—­Much annoyed by report of CURZON’S extraordinary speech in the House of Lords.  Called at the White House and the British Embassy to put matters right, and sent wireless to CURZON:  “Nothing ‘succeeds’ like success.”

Extract from a report of a sermon by Father BERNARD VAUGHAN:—­

    “They might as well go on to one of the main lines and attempt to stop
    one of the engines gorging from Euston to Edinburgh.”—­Express and
    Echo (Exeter).

Perhaps it would be wiser to refer the matter to the FOOD-CONTROLLER.
