City Journal-Post concludes: I'm the
delegation are men who know all angles
of the situation from first-hand infor-
nation. They are familiar not only with
the results of the Washington confer

agreement at Geneva. Fortified with
facts from the naval experts, the dele
CATION should be able to cope with any
situation that arises. They are men of
vast experience In business. and they
