...consistory of cardinals in Vatican City this week (see p. 36), said in Latin: "We consider it would be a horrible crime, a foolish manifestation of wrath, if peoples again took arms one against the other to spill blood, brothers against brothers, so that destruction and ruin would be sown from the skies, on land and at sea. ... If anybody should commit this nefarious crime-and may the Almighty put far from us this sad forecast which we on our part believe will not come to pass-then we cannot help but appeal again to Almighty God with this prayer...
...theory of regional art rests upon the idea that different sections of the U. S. should compete with one another just as Old World cities competed in the building of Gothic cathedrals.

If it kept up still longer, it might replenish the subsoil moisture enough to make possible a good winter wheat crop next year...
...contradict him. The nation which, on a percentage basis, had most flagrantly broken its pledge happened to be the Conference's host last week, hence could not in decency be flayed. Solemnly His Majesty's Government gave its word last year "not to encourage any extension of the area sown," then went blithely ahead paying subsidies to wheat growers in Great Britain with the result that the Kingdom's acreage shot up by 6%. For this His Majesty's Government offered last week no apology or explanation...
