Outlines World Situation
Famous Magazine Correspondent Lectures at New Century Auditorium
(Utica Press, February 18, 1920)
Familiar with the world situation by immediate contact with it in as many different news centers as there are news centers which have particular import and interest when considering international affairs, Peter MacQueen, Ph. D., special European correspondent for Leslie's Weekly, proved to be one of the best informed lecturers on international affairs that has appeared in Utica for some time. He spoke at the New Century Auditorium and had a representative Utica lecture crowd.
The Y. M. C. A. has already brought to the people here through its winter Chautauqua some very high class talent. Last night was another repetition of the appreciation that a Utica audience shows. The speaker was most unusually interesting as a lecturer, possibly because he has that trained instinct to please, to know what the public wants, which every correspondent who knows his business has. He not only had an unusual contactual knowledge of international affairs, but he also had lantern slides of the very parts of the world he was speaking about.
His subject was
Peace and the Reconstruction of Europe,
and his method of handling this magazine-worn subject was distinctly novel and powerfully compelling. Great world personalities, such as Lloyd George, Clemenceau, King Albert, President Wilson; great world centres, such as Paris, Vienna, Fiume, Budapest, and the hundred other cities and centres that have figured in interest and importance in their relationship with world commerce and the practicality of the League of Nations were thrown on the canvas at the same time the lecturer was telling about them.
In its entirety, it was a lecture that not a single citizen interested in the international tangle that the United States has would about herself could afford to miss. It was a lecture that every high school student should have heard.
