...Breakoff & Backfire. This was the substance and order of the agenda that emerged: 1) first adopt the agenda; 2) locate the cease-fire line; 3) provide safeguards for the truce; 4) arrange exchange of prisoners; 5) and finally, agree on recommendations (not binding) to the belligerent governments.

S. arms delegate and Hoover Man-about-Europe. Arriving in Manhattan on the Manhattan last week Delegate Davis announced: "There's no doubt that the world is in a terrible fix. The nations seem to realize that if they don't want to perish separately they must get together." Speeding to Washington Mr. Davis spent 90 minutes reporting to President Hoover. Said he: "It's a great thing to get, Germany...
