  Henry L. Stimson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stimson was defeated as Republican candidate for governor of New York in 1910.
Stimson wrote that Nicaraguans "were not fitted for the responsibilities that go with independence and still less fitted for popular self-government." Later, after he was appointed Governor-General of the Philippines (succeeding General Leonard Wood), an office he held from 1927 to 1929, he opposed Filipino independence for the same reason.
From 1930 to 1931 Stimson was the Chairman of the U.S. delegation to the London Naval Conference.

 How Henry Stimson Bombed Hiroshima
Stimson was not actually concerned with the issue of the Emperor remaining as head of state; Stimson was simply concocting every pretext he could fabricate, in support of his one purpose: to hit Japan with the nuclear weapons--then two bombs--in the U.S. arsenal.
Stimson wished world government, but he wished it to be unequivocally based on feudalistic terms suitable to what he desired as the form of a renewed "Anglo-American" partnership between Wall Street lawyers and bankers, on the one side, and the British monarchy, on the other.
Stimson was at the center of the financial crises during 1929-31, and engaged in the same type of "crisis management" that is today bringing the world again to the brink of catastrophe.

 Aerospace Power Journal: Henry L. Stimson: The First Wise Man. . - Net Assessment - book review
To the extent he is remembered at all, Henry L. Stimson (1867-1950) probably is most often recalled for declaring that "gentlemen do not read each other's mail," a sniffy observation which accompanied his 1930 directive to close the US State Department's cryptography office (aka "the Black Chamber").
According to Schmitz, both Stimson and his successors (basically the same group collectively and memorably referred to by David Halberstam as "the best and the brightest") shared a number of important characteristics: high intelligence, impressive dedication to public service, a somewhat narrow worldview, and the unswerving assurance they were always right.
In Stimson's case, those tendencies were reinforced by a strong sense of noblesse oblige and, as was common among privileged men of his day, a no-less-strong belief in the inherent superiority of white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant males.

 Henry L. Stimson: The First Wise Man
To the extent he is remembered at all, Henry L.

A lifelong Republican, Stimson served as secretary of state (1929–33) for one president (Herbert Hoover) and secretary of war for three others, two of them Democrats (William H. Taft [1911–13]; Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman [1940–45]).
He makes two major arguments: (1) that Stimson played a major role in America’s transition from traditional imperialism and isolationism to internationalism and world leadership and (2) that Stimson—for good or ill—personified certain key strengths and weaknesses in twentieth-century American foreign policy.
