both into businesslike performance.
In George Sutherland, former United
States Senator from Utah. and now
chairman Of the American ADVISORY
committee in the conference, the Presi-
dent has the services of another man
after his own heart. Less has been
heard of this modest and unobstrusive
figure than of the statesmen more re-
sponsibly placed. Yet the solid sense,
wide experience and special knowledge
of this master of International law are
of immense value to Mr.. Hughes In the
day by day development of the Ameri-
can position, especially on Far eastern
questions. Mr.. Sutherland has directed
the attention of the advisory committee
toward ways and means OF Kidding the
world of viper warfare, submarines and
poison gas. =.
Another useful complementary figure
of the conference is its secretary general.
John w. Garrett. When Mr.. Fletcher,
| Under Secretary of State, leaves that
post to become United States diplomatic
representative at Brussels, Mr.. Garrett,
so the surmise runs, will become Mr.
Hughes's right hand man. He comes
from Baltimore, was graduated from
Princeton, entered the diplomatic ser
vice under Mckinley and has served at
The Hague, Berlin, Rome, Caracas and
Buenos Aires.

Peace is founded on understanding and
good will, just as business is established
on good credits. The American people

the best construction and not the worst
