Lansing used his new leisure to record his opinions and impressions of the peace conference, though he refrained from publicizing his disagreements with Wilson until the change in admi nistrations in 1921, and he was working on an extensive account of his years as Secretary of State at the time of his death.

Robert Lansing (1864-1928) served as US Secretary of State from 1915-20 in President Woodrow Wilson's administration, replacing William Jennings Bryan who resigned in protest at Wilson's allegedly hawkish approach to US neutrality in 1915.
Lansing was also instrumental in persuading Denmark to sell to the U.S. its islands in the West Indies; renamed the U.S. Virgin Islands, Lansing believed U.S. control of these to be important in preventing their falling under German influence.
Lansing nevertheless lobbied Congress to accept both the treaty and the League, ultimately without success in the latter case (with the Republicans, notably Henry Cabot Lodge, energetically and effectively opposing both).

 History of the Secretary of State: Robert Lansing
Lansing probably thinks that the goddess of chance played him a scurvy trick, after having admitted him to the Olympian heights, to break him as suddenly as she made him.
Lansing had been connected with many international arbitrations which, theoretically, was a magnificent training for a future Secretary of State, and actually would have destroyed the creative and administrative usefulness of a much stronger man than Robert Lansing.
Lansing was too fond of his official prominence to surrender it easily, and that is another curious thing about the man. Somewhat vain, holding himself in much higher estimation than the world did, few men have so thoroughly enjoyed office as he.

 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Robert Lansing
Robert Lansing was an unsettling, forbidding presence in his early films; as if uneasy with and resentful of the need to perform before the camera, he excelled in playing uneasy, resentful men.
Leading men in science fiction film are often allowed (or asked) to appear cold and unemotional, but they must manage to convey that there is a warm, caring person beneath their facades (like Michael RENNIE or Leonard NIMOY); Lansing seemed cold on both the inside and outside.
Now apparently reconciled to his inability to appeal to audiences, Lansing revelled in the opportunity to portray a grouchy, uncooperative boat captain, grimacing at the huge insects as if they were just another nuisance disrupting his orderly life.
