The communication was sent to Supreme Commander Gordon. He called a
conference to discuss peace terms. The President, Cabinet officers and
all the Army and Government officials attended. When the conference
convened, General Pearson arose and said: "When we turned over the
Supreme Command of the Armies of the United States to you we agreed to
abide by your decision no matter what it might be. Your actions and the
victories that you have won have justified our faith and confidence in
you. You have proven yourself to be the greatest man in the history of
the world. Your mercy and justice has been demonstrated. Our country
and the world and its destiny are safe in the hands of a man like you.
You have been guided by Almighty God and I make a motion that we say
nothing, offer no advice, but leave everything in your hands. Whatever
terms of peace you make, we will gladly abide by them."
When he had finished talking, Colonel Manson arose and said: "I second
that motion. Let us make the vote unanimous by all rising." Every man
rose immediately. The President grasped Supreme Commander Gordon's hand
and thanked him for his great service to the United States and the
world. Each Cabinet officer and army officer followed, and shook the
Supreme Commander's hand, wishing him continued success. The President
and Government officials were anxious for Supreme Commander Gordon to
explain how he had accomplished the wonderful feat of going around the
world in 7 days and destroying so many buildings. He told them that
his new machine made a Tunnel thru the Air and that it had overcome
resistance from gravitation and the machine was invisible. He explained
how he had been guided in building this machine and all his other
inventions by the Bible.
Supreme Commander Gordon decided to call a conference of all nations to
take place in New York, on August 30th, 1932. They were notified and
representatives were asked to be sent. Supreme Commander Gordon made a
special request that the representatives from all the countries bring
with them their wives or daughters as he had a special message for them
and wanted them to take an important part in the Peace Conference. No
one knew what the conditions of peace would be, but even the enemy
felt that they were dealing with the most just man that the world had
ever known, a man who refused to take the lives of women and children.
When he had the power to put the entire Allied Armies of the Enemy to
sleep and destroy them, he refused to do it. They were all willing and
glad to leave their fate in his hands. All over the country Old Glory
was waving from every building. Flags were printed with the picture of
Supreme Commander Gordon on them and the picture of "Marie the Angel of
Mercy." The flags bore the inscription "Tunnel thru the Air," "The Lone
Aviator," "America's Savior."
