This school of British thought was heavily represented last week in the United Kingdom delegation sent to the ninth Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce in Berlin, a genial gathering of some 1,500 delegates from 41 nations. The British soap trust was represented by Chairman F. d'Arcy Cooper of Lever Brothers Ltd. who talked much privately about softsoaping the Germans with gold.

With Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper they exchanged polite greetings. Secretary Roper's Business Advisory Council gave them a luncheon. Secretary of State Cordell Hull made a speech. At the Burning Tree, Metropolitan and Chevy Chase clubs they played golf earnestly and remarkably well. Convinced by members of the State Department that Franklin Roosevelt minded not at all their lack of formal morning clothes, they spent a smiling half...
