...waiting for King George to arrive, the coal-black delegate of Haiti, gigantic, barrel-chested Constantin Mayard, broached his plan for world prosperity to whoever would listen. ''Everybody ought to drink more rum," advised Delegate Mayard, "and they ought to eat more bananas." Word that the King-Emperor was rising in the Conference lift caused 800 delegates, experts and correspondents to scramble to their feet. Stiff and silent to honor His Majesty, benign sovereign of one-quarter of all mankind, stood white chief delegates in cutaways, white-robed Indians, the gaily turbaned Hejaz delegate and the head...
