Why certain British Ambassadors fail- ed is suggested by this account of his predecessors at Romo:
Prinetti (the Italian Foreign Minis- ter) observed to me that there had been for a long time previously practically ao diplomatic contact with a series of British Ambassadors, mostly in failing health, who never discussed political questions and confined themselves to current work. It was consequently assumed in Italy that we had lost in tarest in her, or regarded, her as a negligible quantity.
Sir James saw much of King Edward and has one quaint story of him:
When the late Lord Oxford was very il, only a short time before his death the King, who was always constant in his loyalty to old friends, went to see him and said to the butler who opened the door: "Will you announce me
"Sir Henry you know who I am?" Drummond Wolff, I believe," said the butler, and led the way upstairs.

Sir James's opinion is of great im- portance as to the state of Italy on the eve of the Fascist movement: In 1919-20," he writes, "Italy was in dan

It will not surprise anybody to learn thas President Wilson was not popular in Italy:
