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

liberations which ultimately failed.

Charter was signed by all the nations
present. 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. San Fran
cisco excluded all the major com
plexities of creed, race, economics
and politics, to yield to a fair solu
tion of the problems arising when
good people unite to demand a def
inite position and democratic adjust
ment.
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. Stettinius and his abilities
were highly praised by Mr- Sackett.

There are hundreds of service boys
on the subscription list of the Sen-
I tinel. If any little foolish remark or
homey narrative of mine can give
even one of them a moment of pleas
ure or a glimpse of home, I am
happy. I always write with them in
mind. They hear enough about war;
I am not going to remind them of it
in any column I write. The mothers
and wives need a little deviation
from the present trend of thought,
too. Now you know why I never
refer to the war. I want to write
about pleasant things for nice people.
As ever, Pat.
