...problems of the Pacific to European interests gravely endangers its success in accomplishing the object of its authors. The French delegation in particular will insist on discusing at length the limitation of land armaments in relation to the existing causes of unrest and insecurity in Europe. Its policy with respect to political and military problems of the Pacific may serve only as stock-in-trade which it can barter in exchange for advantages nearer at home.

The main difficulty had been a notable lack of hospitality for visiting school teams on the part of the University; and with respect to the University, not only a distinct lack of correct information in the schools, but also a noticeable presence of misinformation and misrepresentation.
