kinds of people. He had been civil
aid to General PerShing; chairman
of the presidents aircraft board;
chairman of the Prison Inquiry
committee of New Jersey, and his
work had been the means of virtu-
ally revolutionizing New jerseys
penal laws. AS a member of j. P.
Morgan e. Company, he had ham
died some of the most important
financial transactions of the World
War, and he had won the Distin-
guished Service Medal for his work
in military shipping.
But did all this service and dis
tinction make him feel competent
to rush in and make important de-
cisions on his next job?
Not a bit of it. When Dwight
Morrow went to Mexico, he went
with his mind made up to do moth
ing at all until he had won the
Mexican people for friends. After
that he would decide what course
to pursue.
Mr.. Morrow mingled socially. He
studied the problems of the country.
He sympathized with the people in
their difficulties.
1t was rumored around among
the Mexican people that this man
representing the large country to
the north was a friendly man
so his country must feel friendly
towards their country. Since he
seemed to like the Mexican people
his countrymen must like Mexicans
When Mr.. Morrow was ready to
ask for an agreement between the
United States and Mexico, he had
the confidence of the Mexican gov
ernment.
Think of it, One of the most in
fluential men of our generation
decided that the most important
thing he could do for his country
was to win friendsl
If you have benefited as a re-
suit of winning a friend, I wish
you would write me and tell me
about it,
Do you like to talk about your
troubles? If so, remember that
there are only five people in al
the world who are interested in
listening to them: yourself, youl
mother, your minister, your doctor
and your lawyer. And don't forget
you have to pay the doctor and
lawyer for listening, while the min
lister may listen solely from a sense
of duty. Other people are just like
you. They have troubles of theil
own; and, fear those are the only
troubles they are interested in.
If you want to be a bore, talk
about your troubles. That technique
will make people want to run Wher
they see you coming. And in which
direction do you suppose they will
run-toward you or from you?

Bruce Carton Says
-WeIcome Parties Mirrors of a Nation

You can get an idea OF the klna
of world Europe has built for itself
these days by just noticing what
it is that nations show to visiting
dignitaries when they want to make
an impression.
Admiral Horthy visits Germany,
and what does he see? Miles of
warships, fleets of airplanes, long
ranks of soldiers; the might of war,
reaty to swing into action at the
nod of a dictator's head. Having
seen, he is duly impressed; no one
else, apparently, has anything quite
SO fearsome to show him. And 1t
is just possible that the future his
tory of Europe may-in part, at
least, swing on the impression that
these warlike little playthings made
on the boss Of Hungary.
To say all of that is simply to
say that Europe today is mad
world, in which the best energies
and the most earnest thinking of
the leaders of all the great nations
are devoted to that one subject
war.
