...policy No. 3. that Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg relied for his refusal of entry to the U. S. to Mme. Alexandra Kollontai, Soviet Russia's Minister to Mexico who intended a tour through this Republic on her way to Mexico City. Secretary Kellogg classified her as "actively associated with the International Communist subversive movement," and hence not a fitting alien to be admitted. Under the present immigration law, he was entirely within his powers. Nevertheless, upon his head were heaped the vituperations of many a liberal, not the least of whom was Senator William E.

One of the bedrooms has been unlocked only at intervals for 16 years. Within, everything, down to the minutest shirt stud has been kept by order of Alexandra exactly as Edward VII left it. Last week, Queen Mary, in the absence of George V who was hunting in Scotland, ordered and superintended a thorough cleaning preparatory to complete redecoration of this so-called "secret bed chamber." One good job done, Queen Mary passed to another locked bedroom door. Impassive...
...Archbishop's finger inscribed the sign of the cross in Holy Water upon the brow of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, infant daughter of the Duke of York, only granddaughter of George V, Rex et Imperator.
