From the Caroline Islands, that fine powder of islands lying in the West Pacific, the Japanese sampans point southward. They cross the Equator, weave through the maze of the East Indian Archipelago toward Australia's New Guinea and North Australia.

The larger, which will be decorated with a mammoth panorama of the Revolution, seats 20,000; the smaller 6,000. Escalators go up to a library which will hold 500,000 books, a maze of museums, foyers, restaurants. Besides the two main halls, there will be four conference rooms. The base of the Palace will be marble and granite; the rest, tufa, a purple-red volcanic stone found in the Caucasus. Lenin's statue will be aluminum or chrome steel. Including the statue...
