Mr. Sackett pointed out many i teresting things which made up the factual back ground of the conference and he re lated a number of thought-provoking sidelights. Prominent in the background of the past is the Versailles Conference, with Wilson’s famous statement that the conflict, just over, had been a “wgr to end war.” Out of that war came a temporary peace, broken by another world holocaust before a quarter of a century had passed; be cause terms were a part of the de liberations which ultimately failed. The thought was emphasized that the conference at San Francisco was held in a most desirable locale, in a I stood lost in the memory of tales diverse, cosmopolitan center, which told around campfires or hearth offers counterparts of many of the stones or read in books, about pi foreign countries and which is part oneers, while there was before me a of a great land with no teróltorial realistic picture of a covered wagon “axes' to grind.” The entire con- train, traveling across endless r miles “"“ ference was a movement for una- of undulating prairie.

Considered tn the light of the fact at least fifty diverse lan guages were employed, and inter preters were responsible for the clarity of ideas, this was, indeed, the most outstanding feature.

In conclusion, Mr. Sackett men tioned how apparent it was to him as a spectator, that the other coun tries of the world wish to use the U. S. A. as a pattern for mechanical development and economic advance ment. He stated the Arabs were greatly interested In our tanning processes and that seeds of the Red wood were taken by most of the delegates.
