He said he had no objection whatsoever to Churchill's proposal, but he thought that international negotiations, because of their complexity, usually can be conducted better by foreign offices and our State Department.
He said he is personally ready to do anything but that the dignity of the United States would require in advance some reasonable indication that progress could be made.

Lawyer Talks to Sociologists
Lyman Field, attorney of Kansas City, Mo., was the speaker for the seventh annual dinner meeting of the University department of social work Monday. He addressed 170 students, alumni, advisory committee members, field instructors and faculty in the Kansas room of the Union.
With some obvious feeling, he said he wanted to make one point clear. "I have met no one in the United States who does not want peace." He conceded there is a wide variety of ideas on how best to obtain peace.
