...plan tomorrow against white men. We face the danger of a race war!" Since II Duce's personal prestige-his Italian "honor"-is involved in the success or failure of his plan to revamp the League of Nations, Sir John required all his suavity to arrange a graceful exit from Rome. "Reform of the League of Nations," said he, "can be interpreted to mean either strengthening the League or weakening the League.

...years of age, on the threshold of the exit from life, ready to meet my Maker," Henry Martyn Leland was still fighting Henry Ford. When the founder of both Cadillac Motor Car Co. and Lincoln Motor Co. died the next year his cause passed into the hands of his son and his grandson. For a decade this "Grand Old Man of the automobile industry," who had made rifles in the U. S. Springfield Arsenal during the Civil War and Liberty motors in his Lincoln plant during the World War, tried to make Henry Ford acknowledge an obligation not to himself...
