Since Statesman Stimson, Signer Grandi and German Chancellor Heinrich Briining were already in Geneva the world Press treated its readers to such headlines as SURPRISE 5-POWER PARLEY.* What did it all mean? In Geneva one of the first things reported by correspondents was the behavior of Mrs. Henry Lewis Stimson (the former Mabel Wellington White of New Haven, Conn.) as she was escorted into the Geneva Disarmament Conference Building by Mr. MacDonald...
