Others present around the board of crystal and gold were the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, the entire Cabinet with their ladies, the Swedish Minister and Mrs. Bostrom, Senators Borah and Swanson (Senior Republican and Senior Democrat of the Foreign Relations Committee) and their wives, Congressman and Mrs. Chindblom of Chicago...
