BEVERLEY BAXTER S FAREWELL TO U.S.
ONCE MORE it is good-by to the New World and back to the problems, the shadows and the hopes of the old. I am writing this in a room of a university situated in Fort Collins, Col. Tomorrow a bus drive to Denver, then overnight to Chicago, overnight again to Toronto, then a third overnight journey to New York, one last speech there and so to the Queen Mary.
I don’t know how many thousands of miles I have traveled on this tour, but my mind is so crowded with impressions of places and peoples that it will take a month in London to sort them out. From the sunshine of California and the shadow world of Hollywood I journeyed to Salt Lake City, where there really is a lake that is one third salt and where the Mormons dominate the life and religion of the city.
