message. Not less than so correspon-
dents for American and foreign news
papers were in the press section, and
thousands of words were cabled to
London and Paris regarding the con

expert stenographers relayed the
Clemeneeau talk, and within five min
utes after he had concluded the

Talking with President Pearson of
the International Lyceum and Chau-

movement might be fostered in his
native land.
