All this was laid out in a letter Lattimore wrote in 1938 to his friend Edward C. Carter, then secretary general of the Institute of Pacific Relations, whose membership included many prominent Americans as well as party-liners.

As the star attraction, four water maidens push a water-borne platform on which a trim, silver-skirted ballerina does a lotus dance.
