undoubtality is to indulge in generalities. What you undoubtedly expect, and what should be done here clearly and without equivocation, is that the spokesmen of the various nationalities represented here apply the principle of nationality to specific facts; that they come with a definite programme, at least in outline, in so far as the nation they represent is concerned. 
This conference has a constructive mission and unless this is fulfilled, it will have been held in vain and our hopes of influencing American public opinion along the right lines will dissolve in a fog of mere words, futile criticisms, and glittering generalities.
