Mission to Moscow Page #2

The league must live.

It must be strong.

The carrying into practice

of these ideas

will preserve us from

new disappointments

similar to those

which we are now undergoing,

will infuse new life

into the league,

and will bring it abreast of

the great task it has to perform.

That was the faith and lifelong

work of the great man

who created this assembly.

The voice

of the league founder was still,

and the voice of his followers

went unheeded.

Soon a disillusioned world

began to listen to

another voice

that proclaimed a new order

to take the place of

collective security...

collective slavery

under the domination

of what he termed

"a master race."

At first people laughed at

this caricature of a man,

with his wild threats

and his grandiose plans.

But words became deeds,

and the laughter ceased.

Like other americans,

i was only vaguely aware

of those ominous events.

During that summer,

my family and i were spending

our vacation at our camp

on the st. Regis lake

in the adirondack mountains.

On this particular day,

my wife, my daughter, and i

were getting ready for

a camping trip over the lakes

and deep

into the mountains.

Joe, are you sure we have

enough food to last 4 days?

There will be fish,

my dear-

nice, fat, lake trout fried

over a campfire with bacon.

Mr. Davies!

Oh, daddy,

here comes freddie.

Don't you dare let anything

come up to ruin our trip now.

I suppose i forgot

the screwdriver.

No, sir, there's a telephone

call from washington.

It's the same thing.

No, sir, it's mr. Beeby

in your office.

He says there's a case coming

up in the supreme court,

and they want you

to try it.

Well,

very interesting.

All right, you go back and tell them

i'm so deep

in the adirondacks

that it'd take

even edgar hoover

and henry morgenthau

to find me.

Push us off,

will you?

Everything in,

marjorie?

Everything's in

but you, dear.

Watch out for the tackle, daddy.

Don't step

on it.

Have a nice time!

Good-bye, freddie!

If anybody calls

for me, freddie,

tell them i'm opening

sardine cans for daddy!

Mr. Davies!

Mr. Davies!

Mr. Davies!

Don't you think

raymond announces

a bit loudly

for a butler?

5 years i've been trying

to take this vacation,

and now, by godfrey,

i'm gonna take it!

I've got to tell him,

freddie. It can't wait.

Who wants him?

Come on. Help me

with the canoe.

Sure, i'll help you, if you

think it'll do you any good.

Oh, joe, he's getting in the canoe.

And freddie's coming

with him.

They'll have to

catch us first.

Get your oars,

my lads.

Daddy, row harder.

Here they come!

Oh!

Mr. Davies, you've got to come back.

Freddie,

didn't i tell you

that i wouldn't give up this
