...fairly clear from the foregoing that "spit an' image" has not "originated among the darkies of the South," as Mr. Harris and many other TIME readers who have written to me believe, as a corruption of "spirit and image."

His Serene Highness proposed that there be a European League, an Asiatic League and an American League -each to mind its own business. Anyone who knows Admiral Horthy is familiar with his sulphurous epithets for Stalin, and the Soviet Union-since two-thirds of its area is in Asia-would "naturally" belong only to his Asiatic League.
