This dangerous and explosive conflict of ideals and facts hung tense in the warm air of La Habana, last week, as the Conference assembled and was formally opened by the President of Cuba, General Gerardo Machado. After him spoke the President of the United States, who made the very best of a difficult situation by championing Fraternity and omitting specific reference to Intervention.

It is an unflattering paradox to the excellent co-operation of the Library during the Reading Period that within its seventh circle...
...when their particular worlds turn end for end, says Author Wassermann in effect. He proceeds to cite "case histories": Peasant Adam studied his only son for signs of weak character so long and so truculently that the heir killed himself. The father, remorseful, claimed to have murdered the boy; hung himself. Golovin, voluble Russian revolutionist, had in his power a woman for whom he craved. To her he talked all night about his vicious deeds and cynical philosophy and in the morning left her unharmed, still talking about himself. Three other "histories" appear in the book.
