 the peoples of our countries"
 And so--you too will feel as do I and every American tourist to Ger
 many, that here are 65.000.000 in-
 telligent, progressive, human beings,
 that just can't be voted into ob-
 livfon. They need us more than
 ever, and when you realize that Rus-
 sia with 160, 100000 people as actu- ally building the greatest industrial
 machine in the history of the world and at the same time casting aside
 everything that stands for American
 and German f1omelife and culture, you appreciate that the problem of [1931 is not that of 1914.
 On leaving Germany to return home via Belgium and France, my most vivid memory is of the chil- dren of those nations. My last day in Germany visited the cathedral at Cologne and saw a school teacher with a large group of youngsters. telling how the cathedral was pro- tected from French air raids during the war.
 Twenty-four hours later l visited Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. and here were over two hundred French school kiddies being told how that work of architecture had to be pro- tected from German air raids. Truly a sad picture-for uncon-
 sciously these youngsters are ac- quiring passive animosity for their | neighbors-the factor so essential when politicians plan war. Tn conclusion--may say that from a commercial standpoint, Ger many welcomes our products; and from a social standpoint, every per-
 son in Germany looks on an Amer ican with a respect that makes you feel that after all, the ability of | Americans to shake hands and for get, and pitch in and help the other fellow after an argument. Is the greatest moral force in the world to-day.
 Visit Germany, only five days away and have the pleasure of find- ing 65,0O0,000 people as full of pep and ambition as we are.
