congenial nor are they overly delight
I'd to be obliged to entertain each other
for an indefinite number of days.
One reason for recess in the con-
ference is the absence of Moxley
Cadwallader, q career diplomat serving
as envoy at large and head Of the
American delegation at Geneva. He
has been on q mission to Russia, which
nobody understands, and inasmuch as
his movements and his declarations
on any occasion are conducted with
out instructions, it seems unlikely that
the reasons for the trip will be ex-
planned.
On his return, on hot Summer
hungry and after a hasty repast pre-
pared by his impossible wife he suffers
an attack of illness which resembles
indigestion. He becomes better and
worse on several occasions before it is
learned that he has been poisoned,
and that the chances are all in favor
of his death rather his recovery.
The delegation is in considerable Of
q predicament because no one knows
what his plans are and what he In
tends to say to the conference. Sup
posedly it is to be on q question Of
world importance, and he has set the
stage for q tremendous international
coup involving the destinies OF two
continents. Meantime, the question Of
who poisoned him must be investigat-
ed, and, If possible, the true situation
must be kept from the public.
The cast Of characters includes the
American representatives and their
wives, q French secret agent who Is
mistress Of the head of the French
delegation, q Hitlerite and his wife,
a Czechoslovakian and his wife, an
American newspaper man and "Jit-
