spokesman who will serve as con- sultants to the eight-member off, cial U. s. delegation.
 The 46 United Nations may have their difficulties in agreeing how they will lie in the same bed ot security, but their peaceful Slumbers will not be disturbed nearly SC much by a Soviet Russian with 8 secret vote plan, a temperamental De Gaulle Frenchman with a collec- ton of trick amendments, two quar- reling Polish factions, nor half dozen British dominions scheming quietly to rule the world, as they may be bothered by this fringe oi 42 lobbyists.
 Included in the A are four big business groups, two associations ot lawyers, three labor organizations four veterans organizations, four farm groups, five women's societies two Catholic, two Jewish and two Protestant auxiliaries, six peace so- cieties, four businessmen's luncheon clubs, three educational societies and the National Association for the Advancement ol Colored People. DIFFERENT PEWS,
 DIFFERENT VIEWS
 If the object of San Francisco is to establish peace and keep the peace, why don't a lot of these peo- pie stay home? The fact that more than one of each of the pressure groups are invited to San Francisco is in itself evidence that in normal times they can't agree with each other on the same thing.
 On the eve of departure for San Francisco, 8 great dread grows that the good old American love of 8 show, with political convention torchlight, Ringing Brothers Bar mum and Bailey and Hollywood touches thrown in, may so scare the delegates from the other AS United Nations that they will revolt. They may rise in unison and say: If this be the price of peace, give us war; if this be the higher standard of living to which you Americans wish to raise the rest of the world, lead us back into slavery; If this be dem- ocracy in action, give us dictator ship. If this Is what we have been fighting for, goodby."
 IT'S ALL PURE AMERICAN
 Leaving this country and not wish- ing any other, 1t is possible to en- joy the corn relish at high noon knife-and-fork deliberations of Lions, Rotarians and Kiwanis; to view with detachment the bicker- ings of A. F. of L., c. I. O., and N. A. M.; to argue religious differences with tolerance; and to get some genuinely hearty laughs every now and then ouy or the women, God bless em, who will join clubs. All these things are as American as ap- pie pie and ice cream and we under stand them.
 Why Secretary of State Stettinius invited them to San Francisco is understandable. Why they want to be there is understandable. They're all tremendously interested and they want to contribute their two cents worth. Who doesn't?
 As a demonstration of American public opinion expressing itself by insisting that the statesmen get to- gether and from an organization that will stop war, this 42-act greater combined lobby of counsel lors can exert a wholesome influ- ence. But if the boys and girls get the idea that they are going to San Francisco to put over pet projects, to insist on patented panaceas of their on preparation, to stage demonstrations and raise holy Ned If their private, picayunish perfec- tionism is not followed to the last detail
 In the name of peace, sweet peace they ought to stay home.
