Addams is one of the signers of a leaflet, arguing against the enlargement of the U.S. Navy. Shortened versions of this leaflet were also published in newspapers.
Jordan advises Addams not to participate in the mediation efforts begun by the Ford Peace Ship expedition, instead suggesting that she form a new group that avoids publicity.
Jordan asks Addams' opinion on the premise that in order to make the peace lasting, no territorial transfers should take place that are contrary to the people's wishes.
Jordan expresses his frustration over the fact that he finds the people chosen for a mediation group at the Berne Conference to be unqualified and difficult to work with.
Jordan hopes to travel to Europe, but since Henry Ford withdrew his support of the Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation there is not much for him to do there.
