New Kind of Affair
A hilarious time was forecast
for the young guests-drawn
from Washington's juvenile Of
ficialdom - but it was fore.
ordained that they come bearing
gifts rather than to take them
away. The invitation said:
":This is not like the Christ

where you get lots of toys and
presents to take home, and
very good things to eat.
But this is a party where
you bring toys and warm, gay

otherwise would not have much

A confidential check with the

that the youngsters need not take

Ready for Session Despite

By GEORGE r. HOLMES

Unless there is an eleventh
hour upset, the powers are
going to assemble in Geneva on
February 2 to discuss further
disarmament. But neither in
Washington nor apparently
abroad is there much optimism
over what may be accom-
plished.
The French are still agitating
for poStponement on the ground
that the times and world condi'
tions are not propitious for the
undertaking.
Elections Are Near
There is war in the Far East
between Japan and China, the
reparations issue is acute in Eu.
rope, and both in France and Ger
many there are impending ma
tional elections.
The United States, Great Brit.
ain, Japan, and italy, however,
are in favor Of going ahead with
the conference If for nothing
more than psychological reasons.
So France stands alone.
Woman on Delegation
The makeup of the American
delegation is almost completed.
For the first time in history it
