Viet Nam is headed by Ho Chih-minh (He Who Enlightens), president of the Indo-Chinese Communist Party, who, with his little goat beard, looks something like a Mongoloid Trotsky (see cut).

The subject of race sounds much more sensible treated biologically rather than politically...

In Bucharest the immensely tall, Mongoloid statesman who in a struggle of many years weakened this conception and secured mutual diplomatic recognition of each other by the Soviet Union and the Rumanian Kingdom (TIME, June 18, 1934) was M. Nicholas Titulescu. His influence recently waned, he was forced to resign as Foreign Minister. An invalid on the French Riviera, he has claimed that secret agents...
