pie away from the spectacle of misnlan-
agement at home to discussion OF

ment that he would summon the best
elected and consult and advise as to
Americas relationship TO the present as
sociation OF nations. to notifications OF
1t or substitutes for IT," This course. he
said, represented the American spirit.
He believes that few people in America
are opposed to a new relationship OF
nations with qualifications such as he
suggests. These qualifications he stated
as follows:

asked that America suggest the new or
der 0nd take the lead in making such a
plan for proper association and coopera-
ton that we may serve the world and
be secure at home. 1 believe this to be
very possible.
