...from India, proceed to Rome and the U. S. on foot save when waters are to be crossed. Begging as they go, the Buddhists expect to take two years in reaching Rome. Their twelve leaders will be called "Lions" because they think they will need lion hearts in such troublous spots as Mecca and Jerusalem. They will preach vegetarianism. "Westerners," said Bhikkhu, "make graveyards of themselves on account of the innocent animals they kill...

First to enter the ornate marble committeeroom was Ogden Livingston Mills, Undersecretary of the Treasury on whom the President leaned heavily during those troublous June days before France was jockeyed into line for the Moratorium. He told plump, mild-eyed Democratic Chairman James Collier and his 24 committee colleagues that Congress would be "everlastingly disgraced" if it failed to approve the agreement...
