...While So Many Starve." In Nanking the President of China is a personage venerable and quaint. President Lin Sen has the archaic beard and lineaments of a Chinese scholar of bygone days. He is philosophical, reflective, expressionless. He is Old China. On his round-the-world trip in 1929, Mr. Lin with gentle insistence curbed the lavish hospitality of his expatriate Chinese hosts. "In this hard year of 1929," said he, "let us not spend our time and our money upon fine banquets and rich food while so many starve...

Italy will then have an assembly of men qualified to legislate on economic matters as well as those qualified to legislate in the fields of ethics and politics...
Aristide Maillol is not interested in character. Like Renoir, he loves the human body for itself. His calm impressive figures are almost expressionless; so too is his latest model, a strapping Greek beauty of such vast placidity that the Matisses, father & son, found it almost impossible to carry on even the simplest conversation with her. What Pierre Matisse had to exhibit last week were 19 drawings of the lady from various angles. Preliminary studies for sculpture, far more finished than most sculptors' sketches, they were priced from...
