They are most able men, d credit to the American press. They are trustworthy. That is the opinion formed by the people who know in England If the press wants to unite coun- tries it can.

I do know if the press had not been so kind the public would never have been and l should like to thank the Associated Press here today, very deeply for the splen- did welcome.
 Now you will ask what is this pearl of great price? What does this woman think till help all countries? Pearl Of Great Price
 I'll tell you. It is the pearl of great price that l am striving for--1 am striving to take into public life what any man gets from his mother and most men from their. wives, if they choose wisely.
 "Shc wants this-iust to put into public life what she always had to put into her home life-elSc none of her young men would have been here today--unselfiShnes vision, courage and cleanness - the real kind. the kind which helps you to live up 10 W hats best in them. And there's so much good in all mem but only good women can bring it out
 Now, you'll be saying this sounds nice and uplifting. but we must get to practical politics. Let's see what is practical politics.
 We know what's not practical war. I hope we've all learnt that les son.
 What is it that the world most needs in a practical way to do? Work.
 t',. In jrD1 fn start work? Trade,
 Confidence Essential.

 Foreign correspondents are unof- fcial ambassadors. The press can official channels of com- by telling the people of each country not only about the gov crnmcnt but about the people.
 Praises Washington Meeting.
 we must be deeply grateful for the Washington conference. and we must pray deeply for the Genoa confer encc. l believe the whole world longs for peace. But we never get anything in this world and we certainly never get to Heaven without striving for it. |
 America wants peace. America started the league of nations. All Europe looks to America not for large not even for food, but for a great moral lead.
 Lead us toward peace. Help us | Help us. Don't just look on our faults | help us to be better, Gentlemen, if | we knew the better way-let us see to it that we take it.
