...family table stands perpetually in the white marble Pan-American Building, at Washington; and there, last week, mother and father dished up a piping dinner for all 20 republics. Of course the "family party" was really the Pan-American Conference on Arbitration and Conciliation (TIME, Dec. 17 et seq.). At mother's end of the table sat Secretary of State Frank Billings Kellogg, a kindly gentleman on the eve of retirement.

When reports were first current (TIME, Feb. 6 et seq.) that 12,000,000 Chinese seem likely to die of famine before next Spring, most citizens of the U. S. confidently left the whole ghastly and appalling problem to the Red Cross. If they thought about it at all, they saw in their minds' eye long lines of Chinafolk, gratefully receiving huge bowls of steaming soup from white clad, starry-eyed young Red Cross nurses.
