to a grand climax the career that
was launched in the cold harvest
fields of Minnesota. From the
grim old building opposite the
White House the erStwhile farm
boy sought to impress on the world
the ideal of peace.
Nations were friendly, pros
perity was general, and Secretary
OF state Kellogg sought the aid
of all nations in outlawing war.
After years of under-cover negotia.
tiOrs the Kellogg-Briand pact
was born with fanfare and lauda-
tior throughout the world.
1t brought to the man who had
founded the plan the highly
coveted Nobel prize for peace. Mr..
Kellogg was the fifth American
to win the award which in addi-
tior to the great honor carried
with it a substantial amount OF
cash.
HONORED BY NATIONS
Because of his association with
Premier BRAND in promulgating
the peace pact which bore jointly
their names, Kellogg was honored
by France in 1929 with the Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Argentina gave him the Order Of
Olive Branch and in England he
was made an honorary bencher Of
the Middle Temple, a rare and
