NEW YORK, July 20.-The text Of Leaves
Of Morya's Garden is divided into dated
blurts Of more or less poetic writing. Some
Of It actually is poetry. It is all mystical but
altogether it is fierce and brutal.
%InasnIucl as Henry Wallace was, for sew
eral years, a member of the circle of Prof.
Nicholas Roerich, the Russian o%ccultist and
oriental savant, whose disciples regarded him
as God, and inasmuch as this book was Ia
belled as Roerich's 'flrst message" the mes
sage seems to me to be a key to Henry Wal
lace's plan for the future of mankind.
While we bear in mind that Wallace finally
did turn on the guru, or spiritual master,
we may remember. too, that he never has
recorded his reputation Of Roericils teach

Lot of stuff about love in here.
July 2: You carry stones for the erection
of my temple"
Horch, the sucker who put up most of the
money for the big 29-story joss-house on
Riverside drive, later had a suspicion that the
order to carry stones for the temple and
several similar lines running through the
message were kidding on the level.
Let's skip the dates, they mean nothing.

Great deal about flames and fire.
ey the way, in another book, way back in
tne tWentles, Roerich casually wrote about
the explosive force Of the atom.

pass and you will safely enter the new world
by way of the appointed path"
Remember, these orientalists mean a prac-
teal world, super-naortal but inhabited by
elect human beings in the flesh, the elite sur
vivors Of that great battle of race oblitera-

I begin to understand what Henry had in
