Two incidents on shipboard - one
very fortunate and one very funny -
have added to the pleasure of the trip.
Educator Joins Delegation.
The first was the coincidence that
Dr. Carleton Washburne, outstanding
authority on education in America, is
on board bound for Locarno, where
he is to give a series of lectures at
the Fourth International Conference
of the New Education Fellowship.
Having several acquaintance among
the economists and being keenly in
terested in the problems of Russian
education, he was persuaded to join
the Delegation in Russia for the pur-
pose Of making survey Of the edu-
cational system Of that country.
Lusk Chummy With Union Head,
The amusing coincidence was that
Senator Clayton r. Lusk, chairman of
the New York legislature committee
which produced the famous Lusk re-
port on which have been based so
many wild attacks on labor and liberal
organizations and members, was seat
ed at table with Delegation chairman
James H. Maurer.
The delegation has met every morn
ing at 1880 and has spent almost 2
hours in discussing the situation in
England and Russia. Most of the rest
Of the day has been spent in reading,
including "Poison" Ivy Lees book on
Russia and Stuart Chase's latest book,
Your Moneys Worth. Planning of the
work to be done is getting down to
specific details.
British Tour Planned.
The last three days of this week
will be spent in England and Scotland,
visiting labor, cooperative and Labor
Party offices. On invitation from the
International Federation of Trade
Unions, the delegation will attend the
closing session of the biennial conven-
ton in Paris and will meet with the
executive.
The schedule calls for brief visits
in Brussels, The Hague, and Amster-
dam, with Informative visits to the
Ruhr Valley-the industrial heart Of
Germany, and to Berlin, and then into
Russia for month of intensive study
