mass of evidence dealing with this
country's efforts to avert war in the
tense decade between Japan's blus-
tering attack on Mukden in 1881
and the Pearl Harbor raid 10 years
later. ~t
The account of our foreignspolicy

uments of 700 pages of official pa
pers came out in. a documented edi-
ton of Peace and War, The United

The White Book says Secretary
of State Cordell Hull early be-
came convinced that the aggressive
policies of the Axis power were di-
rected at the ultimate attack on
the United States" but he contends
that the foreign policy during this
period was restricted by public OPP

It may be that the intervals seemed either
too long or too short to Anne-Marie.
In any case when the two years were
over, it soon became apparent that the
honeymoon was over, too.
First the Count and his wife were reported
to be living apart, and, after that, private
detectives entered the picture
Squads of them were set to shopping and
their reports voluminous, as detailed as

phrase, "a blond young lady with a hatbox,"
became more and more persistent

Count improvised. II did not suspect our
secret would get out so soon. Let us drink
toast to Miss Anne-Marie Konta, the most
gorgeous girl in Paris"
Today as he recalls the origin of his ro-
nance with the former Miss Konta, Park
Avenue heiress, he refers 10 it as love at first
drink on his part, for it was at a cocktail
party that. their romance burgeoned
She was in Paris studying art and at the
same time pursuing a debutantes routine of
hither thither and yawn.
Unlike most foreign noblemen and fortune
hunters, the Count was not stunned by her
familys wealth. There was plenty of lire in
his own family Golfers.
So, instead Of bringing baloney blandish-
ments into play he took his time about sweep
ing the heress from Manhattan off her feet.
There was a two-year courtshp period to take
the whirlwind tang out of this romance.
The Count remembers a brief interlude
when frivolous young rival of his was about
TO stamp the Lucci name off Anne-Maries
heart He was making time fast, says the
Count, until the day she discovered he had an
exuberant trait that would have disqualified
him as an ideal husband.
The lad was in the habit Of returning to
his apartment in highly inebriated condition
in the wee small hours, taking hot bath with
all his clothes on, and insisting on having his
night-cap in the tub

showing himself sliding down the bedsheets
in the rudiments of an Alpine costume.
The mellowing effect of time, and of later
association with Miss Peggy Norman, gradu-
ally enabled him to look back on his early
welded years with equally philosophical
amusement.
1t was in gay Paree, in 1884, that those
years began, he says.
One lovely afternoon in the Spring he
was sitting at table on the boulevard, mind
ing his own business, when a Frenchman
rushed up to congratulate him.
The young nobleman was bafied by the
congratulations.

But papa was in for a sur

seems to have had a bit of diff
