I returned from Europe the middle of August. I came home feeling ill and the doctors have since told me that I have a case of arthritis, which to say the least, is a damn nuisance. I have found a specialist in New York who promises that he will cure me, which has improved my morale, although the pain in my hands (where I am suffering most), knees and toes still persists. I have taken some time off but not as much as the doctors have prescribed. I suspect that the pace during the last two years, and particularly the last six months, has been a little too much, even for a youngster like myself. This last trip, by the way, was a very worth- while one indeed. In London I " "observed" a conference of the trade union leaders of 16 ERP nations; and in Paris, I chairmaned a meeting of all of the European labor attaches, the labor personnel in Military Government and the ECA labor people. (I saw a bit of Sam who is still very much the same.) The exchange of ideas and the survey of particular situations in particular countries has proved very profitable. Present at the London meeting were four AFL leaders and five CIO leaders. After the London meeting they came to Paris at my invitation to meet with the labor attaches which was a good thing for both labor leaders and attaches. I had an opportunity to spend a good deal of time, with amongst others, Dave Dubinsky, George Harrison, Vic Reuther and Dave McDonald, and I was considerably impressed by all of them. Dubinsky is truly a
