...Macedo Scares, onetime Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, one of the President's South American friends, who had flown up to attend the inauguration but was delayed by storm in Santo Domingo. In quick succession followed other important matters: the President asked Congress to extend the expiring Reciprocal Trade Act; Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee popped up with a new neutrality bill; hard-headed Walter Runciman, proprietor of the Isle of Eigg and president of the British Board of Trade, arrived with his wife to spend the week-end-quite unofficially-at the White House.

Cried President Mitchell: "South America is the only fly in the cowman's ointment. Otherwise he is riding high and handsome. This Argentine business is Secretary Hull's idea to promote peace and world markets...
Only possible hitch in the plans, it was stated by a highly dependable authority close to official sources, lies in the refusal of Radcliffe dieticians to guarantee Miss Temple three portions per diem of Cocomalt (trade advt.) and strained spinach a la Temple, i.e., with luscious slices of hard-boiled egg. Miss Temple, it was added, has already shown the proper Radcliffe spirit by agreeing to wear flat-heeled shoes, horn-rimmed glasses and, possibly, a ribbon in her hair...
