 isThe important effect of the conference was it's edueative effect on the delegates. Most of them had come rigidly tied down by instructions, so that 1t was extremely difficult for them to listen to what was said with anything like an open mind. But there is no doubt that many of the extremists were profoundly impressed, particularly by the remarkable speeches of Albert Thomas, then the French min ister of munitions, and Emile Wander velde, the Belgian minister of munitions. Many of the delegates gave me to under stand that they had been SC moved by these speeches that they would refuse an- other time to be so tightly bound by in- structions.
