...three painters, today owns 500 modern Mexican works worth $2,000,-000. Says Collector Carillo: "In Mexico we seem to have reached our last artistic peak in the late '403." For him both Siqueiros and Rivera in recent years have become "paintbrush and spray-gun pamphleteers." With only Indian-born Rufino Tamayo, 55, whose warm, semi-abstract paintings make him a big prizewinner outside Mexico, now strong enough to challenge the hold of the Big Three, Dr. Carillo still keeps Orozco at the top of his list as "the finest of all Mexican contemporary artists, the best...

To patient Catholics in States where the Church is relentlessly persecuted, this appointment may well bring hope. San Luis Potosí is one of the few States where priests and nuns walk the streets in canonical garb unmolested...
...hard to find much more that the Conference did accomplish. In the name of His Majesty's Government, Sir Samuel, a stalwart Tory, refused to fix a date for the establishment of an Indian Federation (first step toward "dominion status") in 1935 or any other definite year. He rejected even the concept of an Indian-born Minister of Defense for India.
