Abroad he will attend: Universal Religious Peace Conference at Frankfurt-am-Main; Faith & Order Conference at Maloja; Life Work Conference at Eisenack.

He knew that Henry Ford had promised, after the War, to return all his Wartime profits to the government; that he had supposed scruples against accepting War profits. The reporter wrote the Secretary of the Treasury, and was informed that "the Treasury records do not show the receipt of any such donation." The incident is glossed over. There is no mention of other scandals...
