L. 0. when its 16th Annual Conference of 47 nations occupied the handsome hall just built by the City of Geneva for plenary sessions of the Disarmament Conference (last week sitting in committees).

Its terrors are more Amerindian than Greek ?the terrors of a diminishing race under Nature's relentlessly observant, semi conscious eye. The outlines of the Amer ican continent and of its troubled in habitants, grow colder and clearer under Poet Jeffers' western-starry light...
