...went to Russia and today lies buried in the Kremlin wall. They had one daughter. In 1930 they, too, were divorced.

His mind and manner seemed to please foreign statesmen as he told them what the U. S. was thinking and doing. In 1926 he published a novel (It Can't Be Done).

It is understood that the main purpose of the meeting will be to reach some sort of "understanding" as a basis for the World Economic Conference this summer.
