City of Peace?

A rumor rustled through the narrow, cobblestoned streets of the historic city: plans were being made for housing the new League of Nations in Quebec.

Enterprising young Armand Viau, lately hired to whoop up the city's qualities as an industrial center, had been told, he said, that a delegation would look over Quebec this summer. He had blueprints of great, new ultra-modern buildings ready to show them. The architecture naturally would be Old Quebec. There would be three large buildings costing $10,000,000, a hotel and suburban houses.

There was a certain vagueness in Promoter Viau's story. Blueprints? It would not be correct, he said, to make them public before the officials saw them. The site? Ah, to name it would start a frightful land boom. But the fact remained that he had got Quebec City off the mark first in the race for the New Geneva.
