From 1913 to 1918 he was Woodrow Wilson's solicitor general, went to London (1918-21) as U.S. ambassador, came home to be nominated (after 103 ballots) as the Democratic candidate for President, and was roundly beaten by Cal Coolidge.

No Communist, he thinks he can use, rather than be used by, the Reds to expedite the reforms that Rome badly needs-housing people who live in caves, purging municipal corruption, modernizing public services.
