May Is a fin month, and

Mother Nature thinks of every

commercialized this vegetable,
and shipped millions of them to
this country. The Production
Board urges mora b planted.
Th discussion of 18-yssr-old
oters has been resumed on the
ditorial pages. On teen-ager
eplnes this would result in the
running of F. Sinatra, th croon

full of dynamite. The trouble
lie within the 18 year old vot

They contain a vitamin good for

San Francisco, April 28: As Is often the case. The delegates to
this conference who look the most important are NOT. In fact the
exact reverse is true.
The most spectacular delegation Is the one from Arabia they
look like refugees from a Hollywood Sheik set. Everywhere they
go the people stop and stare. And they are most striking and pic
turesque in their flowing robes and gem-studded fly-screen head
gear. Next to them in sensational make-up. come representatives
of South America and Chinese naval groups they are as resplen
dent as drum majors in th good old minstrel show days. But they
have no more influence here than so many spear-holders In
comic opera chorus. They ar ornamental and that is all they are
ornaments.
On th other hand the three most powerful Individuals here
are Foreign Commissar Molotov of Russia, Anthony Eden and U. 8.
Secretary of State Edward R. Stettlnlus. They could stroll up
Market street any day and if unattended, attract no attention what
ever. , .
Mr. Stettlnlus Is a very handsome and distinguished looking
man, but If he walked into the bar at the St. Francis and ordered
an Old Fashioned, no one would pay any special attention to him
they would put him down probably as a prosperous business man
from Pittsburgh or Baltimore and let it go at that. (And if they
mentioned Schnectady instead of Pittsburgh they would probably
be right.) On the other hand if one of these Arabian delegates or
the Rear Admiral of th Peruvian fleet should step Into the same
popular emporium, there would be more or less a riot visually
speaking at least. And how the older gals turn their heads when
these birds of plumage go byl
Next to th Arabian delegation and the South American naval
officers we would rate the Soviet-(Molotov) bodyguard. They
spend a great deal of time walking about on Market, Geary and
Post looking at the tall buildings and probably making caustic
observations upon the evidences of a decadent capitalistic civiliza
tion. ' They never appear In less than six and they look alert and
efficient and ready for anything that might turn up. Most of them
wear old-fashioned riding breeches the tight calf and the flaring
thieh effect, with short Cossack boots. We can't get over their
striking resemblance to Orozcos primitives the square-Jawed and
stubby-fingered natives in Mexico City frescoes and bas reliefs!
These body-guard Slava never fail to attract attention. If Al
Capone's squad Is still operating in Cicero we would really like to
see a contest staged between them and these boys from the steppes.
(It would be soma battle but probably would NOT contribute to
world peace!)
As to Commissar Molotov he Is the spitting image of a small
town family doctor in ona of Ibsen's plays, as presented at the
Irving theater in New York many years ago, and if he were not
attended by an Imposing body-guard might well be mistaken for
one. He looks like a fresh-water college professor also studious,
preoccupied, say a professor of Sanscrit or Archeology, Immersed
in problems of the dim and distant past, not the present or future
and utterly Indifferent to the dandruff on his coat-collar! Which
only goes to show Jhat looks, appenrances have nothing to do with
the case or the world for that matter. For probably the most hard
boiled, realistic and alert diplomat here is none other than M,
Molotov.
We almost overlooked Mr. Anthony Eden. Well, like Secretary
Stettlnlus he would pass unnoticed in the St. Francis bar, or the
Top-of-the-Mark or the Pacific Union club nothing that would set
him out or apart from any well-dressed and attractive looking
San Francisco business or professional, man, unless he should
happen to talk. As those will agree who heard him over the radio.
Mr. Eden has most attractive English accent, and expresses him
self as British statesmen almost always do, with exceptional clarity
and charm.
To date th conference la very much Ilk a three-ring super
circus parade, with the press (3000 of them they say) in much the
fix of the small boy allowed to see the parade but not the big show
beneath th tent. There are these press conferences and the plen
ary (free open and public) sessions which are Interesting and some
times spectacular. But the real show is going on elsewhere and in
secret. Th newspaper boys, up to the present at least, only see
the street parade what th management WISHES to show free to
the hoi pollol on the street and nothing else.
Perhaps before th show Is over some of the Big Time corre
spondents will be able to crawl under the tent but we doubt It
We ar frequently asked: "Do you think the conference will
be a success?" Wo fail to see how it can possibly ba anything else.
By that w don't mean the mlllenlum is here, or that perman
ent peace is certain; but we do mean the purpose of this meeting
Is as certain to be achieved as anything in this uncertain world
can be. W fail to discern on th horizon any possible chance of
failure.
The situation In fact reminds us very much of the first world
conference w ever attended that was the Washington disarma
ment conference during the Harding Administration. Then World
War I had ended, as World War II Is now approaching the end, and
all the nations represented at that conference with one possible
exception, were as eager for disarmament as all the nations here
with on possible exception are eager for world aecurity and
peace.
Where there Is a will and such an Inclusive and united will
there is ALWAYS a WAYI Thtra will be minor difficulties and
disagreements, of course, and what the skipper of this department
thinks should b don. In all probability won't be but the confer
ence will be a success, and wo predict will be heralded far and
wide as marking a grand new era in the affairs of men and of
nations.
i other words the covenant signed her wffl nM fce FINAL; ft win d
adjustable and elastic, not static, not fixed.
So--t'o repeat we can see no chance WHATEVER of any fail
ure here and every chance for COMPLETE success.
a a e e a
As to whether the document here agreed upon will prevent
wars for all time or for a long time that, of course, is another
kettle of fish. Only those who know what is going to happen on
this ball of dirt for the next 200 years can answer thatl
But we do predict this: The agreement reached here will come
NEARER effectively outlawing war war on a world-wide seal
at least than any organization of th kind, signed and sealed in
the PAST. ....
Have met several Oregon newspaper men here, General Jack
son's "papa" from Albany; Sackett from Coos Bay, Dana from the
Journal, among them. All of them ask "How long do YOU expect
to stick around?"
Helen Hayes Is here playing In "Harriet". She Is as marvelous
as ever but can't say as much for her support or the play itself.
e e a e
It Is still amazingly cool here perhaps coming out of dusty
and tropical Mexico so suddenly has had something to do with the
effect.
The East Indians staying at this hotel speak English far more
fluently and pleasingly than many of the newspaper men we meet
who are also the hotel s guests) R.W.R.
This general result ts so certain at least as w see It we
doubt If many of the 9000 newspaper men here stick around until
the end. For long before the formal close the main work will have
been done, only the details the mopping up as in Germany will
remain. And there won't b much of a story In that.
e
How could there be any other result under th circumstances
that exist?
For It can't be too often emphasized: This Is not a peace
TREATY conference, It is a world peac ORGANIZATION confer
ence. None of the knotty problems of peac ar to be decided here,
merely whether or not th 46 nations represented ar to get to
gether In an organization to make war less likely in the future
than It has been In the past. That's all!
Mor than that. When the organization has been decided upon.
It is certain a provision will be included making subsequent
changes as experience dictates the necessity readily attainable. In
