...problems existing there through religious superstition, racial hostility and British commercial exploitation of the Indian peoples, the most promising solution is, it seems to me, the spreading influence of the sort of Christianity which is taught and lived by men like Dr. Jones, the Christianity not, let us say, of Fifth Avenue, but of Jesus Christ. Too much can never be said in praise of Dr. Jones and his work, and his book is one of the outstanding contributions of this age to letters and to constructive thought...
...London wants to know, is the way every Englishman gets around sooner or later to saying: "Now about these War debts. We're perfectly willing to cancel what the Italians and French owe us.

...long, inch-wide strip of hide from a freshly killed rhinoceros. Let the strip age a little and toughen. Then have one of your black boys taper the kiboko, or sjamboke, down, smooth and polish it with a bit of broken glass. Grinning ingratiatingly, he will hand you a tawny whip. Just right for use on a blackamoor, in the opinion of most South African white men. The callous manner in which White Rancher Jaerl Nafte recently violated every rule and canon of kiboko etiquette was really the cause of his undoing...
