Three years ago Dr. John Van Antwerp MacMurray resigned as U. S. Minister to China to become director of a school which has neither faculty nor students-the Walter Mines Page School of International Relations, offspring of Johns Hopkins. Named for the famed scholar-diplomat who was once a Johns Hopkins postgradu ate fellow, the School was founded by popular subscription. Owen D. Young chairmanned a committee to raise $1.000,000. The late Publisher Edward William Bok gave $50,000 to finance the first year. Bernard Mannes Baruch gave $250,000 for a scholarly inquiry into the relation between profiteering...
Since the Russian Embassy in Washington was vacated by the last Imperial envoy, 16 years have passed.

Lawyer, judge, spry campaign cash collector, Minister Fish owns large citrus groves around De Land. James Marion Baker of South Carolina to Siam. Frederick Augustine Sterling of Texas to Bulgaria. Career Diplomat Sterling has served as Minister to the Irish Free State since...
...believes observant Paul Morand. "Africa is consecrated to fire, Asia and Europe to earth, Oceania to water, but America has its principles in air-the open air, an air that is young and free, without shadow or wrinkle, exciting electricity." A Frenchman born in Russia, schooled at Oxford, a diplomat in Italy and Spain, Author Morand (Open All Night, Black Magic) has exorcised in his latest and most delightful travel book the air demons of Latin America-those of the Inca and those of Pan American Airways. Some impressions of this traveled and tolerant man who thinks in the international...
