In short. our relations to the League
while constantly improving are still
ambiguous and not wholly satisfactory
either to our interest or to the Leagues.
What then, can be done to give better
protection to our many interests here?
One thing, the personnel of the Geneva
consulate might be still further
strengthened.
Another thing, we might accept as an
experiment the invitation of the League
just sent to us to participate exception

Hated and feared to the point OF
obsession, loved and admired TO the
point or idoiatry, there has been no
more controversial, arresting nor
interesting figure in century and
half Of American politics than this
man who has risen from newsboy
and fish peddler amid the squalid
tenements to a serious contender
for the Presidency of the United
states.
He is the first Catholic in Ameri-
can history to be nominated by a
major political party for office. That
in itself attests the prominence and
arresting personality of the man.
His Catholicism and his anti-prohi
bifion views constitute the greatest
barriers to his nomination. Far les

from other men.
