From Where They Sit
The Journey of Friendship was born in the minds of Friends returning from a symposium on world affairs in which several eminent foreign diplomats had participated. We felt that their speeches had lacked genuine frankness; that they had seemed to be talking to be overheard by the Press and by the State Department. I said that I wished I knew what the PEOPLE of their respective countries were thinking about world affairs. From this unpremeditated beginning grew the plan of the Abington Friends Meeting Peace Committee that I be sent around the world to visit in families and to find out what ordinary people in various countries are thinking about their problems and what look like possible peaceful solutions to these problems – from where they sit.
