At the State Department "grave concern" about the Cuban situation was admitted for the first time by Statesman Henry Lewis Stimson. But, quoting his patron and one of his predecessors as Secretary of State, Elder Statesman Elihu Root (in whose law office he was apprenticed), Mr. Stimson intimated that there will be no "intermeddling or interference" in Cuba by U.

An ever-unfinished undertaking for a tomb of the first plagued him half his life. For four years he worked on the Sistine Chapel ceiling...

Claiming the late great Gustav Stresemann as its patron saint, and two of Stresemann's biographers on the list of its organizers,* the Staatspartei "stands on the ground of the Federal Constitution and honors the national flag;" i.e. it is opposed to the restoration of the black, white, red, tricolor of Imperial Germany.
