...left for me: to prove that my theory would be accepted in an industrial nation where capitalists rule. ... I had to come as a spy, in disguise. Sometimes in times of war a man disguises himself as a tree. My paintings in this country have become increasingly and gradually clearer.'' Speaking in French he said, "Art is like ham-it nourishes people." The interpreter translated jambon as "food." The audience shouted "Ham!" and Rivera nodded. He concluded, "Because there is a logic of history, the RCA Building will assume its real function-the time depends upon the will...
...during the week President Roosevelt and his visiting statesmen would issue joint White House communiques about their talks. Like most communiques, these were more concealing than revealing. They dealt almost wholly in generalities. One told how President Roosevelt and Mr. MacDonald had laid the basis of a "clearer understanding" on War Debts but, in the next breath, denied that "any plan or settlement is under way."

If France intervenes to smash this arrangement, it is unlikely that England and her ally, Italy, would stand by while the French destroy the Central Powers. They could not watch peacefully the elimination of the eastern check to French supremacy. It would mean, baldly, a general, disastrous war. That is not an alarmist view; it is, unfortunately, commonsense...
Converse with 74-year-old Yukio Ozaki, former Mayor of Tokyo and member of the Diet since that body first met in 1890, is made difficult by the fact that he is nearly stone deaf. But there is nothing the matter with his foresight. Far clearer than most of his countrymen, he has seen which way Japan was heading. An unyielding pacifist, he has campaigned for world disarmament since...
