A HAPPY 21 YEARS PAST AND TO COME LOVE HUGS AND KISSES = LESTER  Right page   New York Times. OCTOBER 29, 1941. Europe ------------- A Branch of the League of Nations Appears in New York ------------- By ANNE O'HARE MCCORMICK The new Palace of the League of Nations stands forlorn and empty on the shaded shores of Lake Leman. All that made the sober city of Geneva an international capital during the rainbow period of the late armistice has departed. Gone are the days when the hotels along the Rhône were crowded with Foreign Ministers and their buzzing entourages. The biggest intergovernmental club in the world is deserted; the most familiar figures seen year after year around its green baize tables, proud plenipotentiaries of sovereign States, are now prisoners or exiles. But the League, or what's left of it, is here. The only place where it continues to function is the place that rejected it. This is the highly ironic and extraordinary significance of the conference of the International Labor Organization being held in New York this week. This body is a branch of the League of Nations since the war started, the only active branch. It is true that it is the one part of the League's work in which the United States officially participated, and that Mr. John G. Winant was director of the organization until he was named Ambassador to Great Britain last February. But our interest in the I. L. O. does not diminish the dramatic fact that all that is left of the League is now operating in and from America. Meeting here under League auspices are delegates from thirty-three countries and from all the continents, of whom no less than fifteen are members of Cabinets and Ministries. Among the latter is the Greek Minister of Labor, whose arrival yesterday after an arduous journey serves to emphasize in a vivid manner how the occupied nations cling to the lifeboat of international organization. called on me as, he said, his only of Latvia's national holiday.

Transcription: item 2    links   Wie sehr habe ich der guten Frau, die so viel für unseren lieben Frauenverein getan hat, diese wert- vollen Augenblicke vergönnt. Dem Präsidenten der lutherischen Kirche in New York durch den ich die reiche Geldspende erhielt, habe ich einen großen Brief geschrieben. Ich schilderte die große Not unseres armen Vaterlandes u. bat ihn er möge doch veranlassen, daß in den deutschen lutherischen Kirchen für das arme Deutschland gebetet würde; denn nur der liebe Gott allein könne uns noch helfen u. wir würden an die Kraft eines solchen Gebetes aufrichtig glauben. - Daß die schwedischen Bischöfe sich in Amerika für uns verwendeten, hat bei mir große Dankbarkeit hervorgerufen. So Gott will zeigt sich uns auch wieder ein  rechts   Lichtblick, daß man etwas weniger traurig in die düstere Zukunft blicken kann. Große Freude durften wir durch die Gnade Euerer Königlichen so mancher schwergeprüften Frau bringen. Die reiche Spende wird viele Not lindern. Ueberall wurden mir warme Dankes- worte zur Uebermittlung an Euere Königliche Hoheit ausgesprochen. Wie schön ist es Anderen Hilfe bringen zu dürfen! Die Damen der Abt.V haben sich außerordentlich über die Grüße Euerer Königlichen Hoheit gefreut u wünschen mit mir, daß sich die Atemnot, unter der Euere Königliche Hoheit zu leiden haben, bald verlieren möchte. Herr Geheimrat Müller besuchte mich am Sonntag u betonte, wie ungemein wohltuend ihm die anerkennenden Worte Euerer Königlichen Hoheit gewesen wären, was ich mir zu

Transcription: Left page   I suggested to Mac White that he should produce a book of memoirs and that it need be nothing but the good stories he remembered. He is extremely shrewd and in his various posts had had more sources of information than many an Ambassador of a Great Power. His good humour is always there. and he is extremely It is doubtful if his fluent Foreign Legion French and certain English  pronunciations from his West Cork are necessarily the worst defects that he could have. I remarked that he still says "a litter of wine" which is one of the earliest things I had heard about him. He fought in the French Foreign Legion during the last war and that was the source of a great deal of his French; his school education was a country national school West Cork, but it did not prevent half a dozen American Universities from giving him honorary degrees. The inside story of Kiernan's appointment is that at first it was intended that Kiernan should go to Berlin as Minister, Warnock of Secretary rank being Chargé there since Bewley left. Some difficulty naturally arose when the question of preparing letters of credence came up. Under our new Constitution - as under the old - these letters of credence are issued by King George on the advice of the Irish Government. Perhaps in pure theory the King could have addressed "his beloved cousin" Adolf begging him to extend all his favours to his Irish Minister; there must have been some natural difficulties. When however Kiernan was proposed for the Vatican, it seems that Joe proposed to appoint him without the proper letter of credence from the King. The Vatian refused; they said that if Ireland was neutral, so was the Vatican and there was no reason why the proper correct constitutional procedure should not be carried out. The fact is at any rate that although it is publicly announced that Kiernan is there as Minister, his diplomatic position in the Vatican is that of Chargé d'Affaires; it is in that character and position he will be treated taking his place at the end of the list of Chargés d'Affaires. I must say this story made a bad impression on me.  Right page   Incidentally Mac told me also something of the background of the appointments of American Ministers to Dublin. I forget the names, but it seems that in one year Dublin had turned down three proposals of American nominations, more than all the rest of the States in the world put together in their relations with the American Government. This was on the basis that one or other of these proposed Ministers had been divorced; it appears we made a good many enemies in the State Department and that some one pointed out the President could not in these circumstances appoint even his son-in-law to represent him at Dublin. But Dublin had its way. The last two people there have incidentally been regarded as of little or no account in the Service. The post is rather an envied, one because of the sporting facilities, the absence of work, an extremely pleasant Legation in Phoenix Park, its proximity to Dublin and "next door to the USA". II/II/41 I have been brooding tonight. Dull, bored, miserable. And wishing I had Elsie beside me, I am worried, too, and not so sure as I was that she and the girls are reasonably happy. I am worried about the raising of the question of her coming. It is easier simply to carry on, straight ahead, and not to have contemplated first the possibility of seeing her dear face beside me and then with tortured mind have to decide No, and then to wonder if it is the best. If I am to have any doubts as to her comparative happiness in this waiting period I shall not be able to stand it. Perhaps I should just nnot worry or be concerned with the risks and responsibilities and uncertainties and say Yes. And let the future take care of itself. And let them all take risks they might escape. My mind keeps turning round and round and I would give a lot to know if she is well and happy and not too discontented with my telegram and letters. I am lonely and tired and I do need her. Why not just be selfish and thik of myself? But I am being selfish. I want to keep her safe and fairly comfortable and the girls too and that is being selfish- wanting it for myself more than I want her beside me in my weak and lonely times. I am not being unselfish; I only want to keep my precious one safe and well for my own selfish sake
