My dinner partner at the Indian dinner the other night was' Prince Varnvaidya of Siam. and a handsome. charming prince he is. He said he at- tended Oxford with Vincent Massey and was very interested in hearing of his work in Washington. It was a small party. not more than twenty peeple. which made it seem pleasant and less .confusing. The Indian and Siamese delegates speak perfect Eng- ’ lish. an that. in this Tower of Babel. b a great relief to me. This mountainous country of Swit- Ierland is an appropriate place to hold the League of Nations: for long cen- turies it has been a free country. dem- ocratically governed by an alert and well-informed people. Yet it would have been still better for the nations to have purchased territory and on it built the new world city. This would have left the League of Nations absolutely free of interference from anyone in its domestic aflairs. Such things as the bad ventilation of the Assembly Hall and the desire of the Swiss Government to own the broadcasting station illus- trite the need of a separate commun- The Chinese dance was. last night. sud was a very enjoyable affair. in spite of the terribly oppressive heat.

Through the excellent book. “The Black Candle" written by Janey Canuck. and the help given me by Henry Moyle of Richmond Hill. I have become very interested in the opiv m question.

Spain and France have al- redy limited their amount to be manu- lactured. and have brought the manu- facturing process under Government supervision. Experts who have followed the Committee for ten years are jub- ilant over the advance. Many resolu- tions were submitted. the most advan- ced by Great Britain.

It was finally referred to the standing committee on Security and Arbitration. and will come up next year. We are just beginning the de- bate on disarmament. Great Britain, France and Germany are quite clearly the leading powers on the committee.

The feeling was that the League should be in con- trol of the station all the time.
