Transcription: P1/9 (5)      The Christian Science Monitor of October 26th 1940 contained an artile signed by Peter Lyne. It  seems to have been written from London and was entitled           "Will the League idea survive"      The following are quotations:      "A number of English Members (of the Secretariat) arrived in London recently after an adventurous and hazardous 33 days journey from Switzerland. They have harsh words to say of their last weeks in the service of the League. For sometime they had been highly  critical of their Secretary-General Joseph Avenol; they considered him too closely involved in French political and Vichy interests. His aim seemed to them to be directed towards freeing the League from British influence. He was known to have been in close contact with German representatives in Switzer- land before the French collapse."                                    *     *     *      "The strain of working under Secretary-General Avenol has been removed by his resignation."                                    *     *     *      After discussing the possibility of the reconstruct- ion of the League and American initiative in this direction, the writer goes on:       "Other circles claim to take a more realistic view of the extent of American future commitments; this view has been summarized by the Times as follows:      ""Let us tell ourselves frankly that the United  States have no intention of concerning themselves in the political future of any European country or of  cooperating in any new political order outside the Western Hemisphere. Where we can count with confidence on the prospect of American collaboration and American generosity after the war is in the field of Economic  and Social reconstruction."" ./

Costa du Rels that officials could travel separately on ordinary passports which did not mention their function is discouraged by M. Lopez Olivan, who thinks that this will not prove possible. Since the letter was written, Felkin, who  was basing his appeals to the Spanish Government mainly on his independence of the League of Nations and who was strongly supported from Washington, has been refused the visa. Olivan thinks that if a person who is known to be an official of the League presents a new passport which does not show his position, to the Spanish Autho- rities for visa, it will merely be regarded as "attempted fraud" and in such cases, the Consul or Minister would, he thinks, certainly refer the matter to Madrid for decision.  Right-hand side.

Description: Avisartikel fra 1936 omhandlende Peter Frederiksen samt et brev hjem til hans mor fra Frankrig den 23. januar 1919 på Røde Kors brevpapir. || Peter Frederiksen blev født den 2. januar 1896 i Herskind i Østjylland. Han udvandrede i 1913 som 17-årig til Kasson, Minnesota, i USA. Han deltog på amerikansk side i 1. Verdenskrig fra juni 1918 og frem til krigens afslutning. Han kæmpede ved Vestfronten i Frankrig, og den 2. november 1918, under et engreb på tyske stillinger, blev han såret i højre ben af fjendtlig ild. Han måtte derefter indlægges på lazaret i flere måneder. Slaget den 2. november 1918, hvor han og hans division stormede en større by, havde store tabstal til følge. Han blev for sin indsats i 1. Verdenskrig tildelt flere udmærkelser, bl.a. to guldbånd samt purpurhjertet (Purple Heart). Purpurhjertet er en amerikansk militær udmærkelse, der uddeles til dem, som er blevet skadet eller dræbt i militær tjeneste. Peter Frederiksen drev efter krigen en farm ved Kasson, blev gift og fik fire børn. I 1936 blev han indlagt på hospitalet i Rochester med blidtarmsbetændelse, som han blev opereret for. Mens han lå på hospital fik han lungebetændelse, og dette viste sig at være dødeligt. Peter Frederiksen døde som 40-årig, og fik en militær begravelse på Evergreen kirkegård i Mantorville, Minnesota.
