He proudly con curred in Poet John Masefield's con tention that love and beauty are uni versal gateways to truth and agreed with Existentialist Gabriel Marcel that all of experience is a divine summons, exalting passion. He never wavered from the tenet of his first book, The Meaning of God in Human Experience (1912), that "the world, like human self, has its unity in a living purpose.

But in almost every correspondent's career there comes a moment when the only thing he can do is stop looking and start participating. One of those moments came to TIME'S Caracas Bureau Chief Mo Garcia as he finished observing a hot-tempered political rally in British Guiana, the British colony where a violent conflict is going on between Negroes and East Indians (see THE HEMISPHERE).
