...opposite face of the earth, while these men gained their ways, George Eastman, head of the Eastman Kodak Co., was pursuing his second leisurely hunt* with camera and gun through the high lands of Uganda and southern Sudan. The scientific importance of his trip lay chiefly in the cinema films which, with the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson,† he took of African mammals at their private affairs. Of lesser importance were the rare white rhinoceros and the more common water buck which he killed so that he might give them to the Natural History Museum at Rochester...

Meanwhile America is preparing a great navy building program with one hand while with the other she pens with dove's quill resolutions for Pan-American Conferences and Franco-American treaties of amity. Meanwhile the paradox at home has an international twin; only one obstacle of size stands in the way of a multilateral treaty outlawing war among the great powers. That obstacle...
