This criticism agrees exactly with conclusions reached by the MacDonald Government's Trade Mission to South America (TIME, Sept. 23), which has issued a report flaying English manufacturers as too stupid and stubborn to make what South Americans want to buy, and secondly flaying English diplomats as too stiff, superior, condescending and ungracious to be of any use in promoting trade. When this report was about to be issued the office of a worldwide press agency in London received advance copies in time to mail them to South America before the release date, but were absolutely forbidden to mail...
...enclosure was a 38-page pamphlet by Father Edmund Aloysius Walsh. President of the Society, considered the leading Catholic authority on Russia today, one-time Director-General of the Papal Relief Mission to Russia (1921-22). Pages 28 to 30 were devoted to three Soviet cartoons, the first showing a workman climbing up to Heaven with his hammer to smash all the Gods, who appear frightened, and the third cartoon depicting the cemetery of the Gods after they have been knocked on the head and buried...

With him proceeded 79 followers? one Christian, two Moslems, the rest Hindus. It was a mission of profoundest significance to Indian Nationalists, for when, after 20 days, the little legion should arrive in Jalalpur, they planned to take pails of water*from the sea, extract the salt therefrom in direct defiance of the British government's Indian salt monopoly and tax. This symbolic act would inaugurate...
...priests at California's Santa Clara Mission took care to be quiet last week as they strolled their ancient corridors. Talking amid the palm and olive trees in the garden, their voices were guarded and low. For in one of the mission chambers a venerable, white-haired invalid, with wrinkled, bespectacled eyes and a broad, benignant face, lay on what seemed likely to be his death bed. He was Father Jerome Sixtus Ricard, "The Padre of the Rains," and it seemed that his 80 years could not much longer resist the attacks of an ailing heart...
