any qualms about wasting money talking over the transatlantic telephone. He was used to it. I wasn't. I had talled on the transatlantic telephone a few times, but I wasn't accustomed to just gossiping over it. He began right away, “How are things going?”

So I had to tell him how things were going with the ILO delegation. He had a reason for wanting to know as I had discussed the program with him. Then I said, “What I called you for was not to report on this. We're doing well enough in the ILO. There are certain things we aren't getting that we want, but after all they've done everything that we've asked them to. I've gotten a great acclamation. The United States was cheered to the rafters. Your name was cheered to the refters when I made my opening speech.”

There really wasn't anything significant about the ILO meeting. It was just the annual meeting and I was the head of the American delegation. It wasn't the first meeting which we had sent a delegation to since we had joined it, but it was the first meeting at which I had assumed the leadership of the delegation. I hadn't been able to go the first year. This was the second year that we had gone at all and I had gone as the head of the delegation. It made it more significant because it gave American interest in the ILO more emphasis.
