Extract from a letter to the Roerich Museum by Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor:
«In whatever direction your endeavors reach out I wish you a great and ever-growing success through the years. After all, while this is a time of danger to things of the spirit, the time has also a propitious aspect. Civilization attains its highest peaks only after it has amassed the material means with which to recompense the artist and the thinker. These ample means we have. The need is only for leaders to call forth this wealth and see that it is expended in cultural advancement. You and your associates arc such leaders. May you build not only this building but a great new movement among us toward a love of the beautiful, and may both endure to serve our people and bring more light into their lives.
Most cordially yours,
James J. Davis».
America honours Roerich
A special cable from New York states that the world-famous Artist, Explorer and Thinker, Professor Nicholas Roerich Orientalist, arrived in New York on June 21, 1929 and were received by the Mayor’s Committee on behalf of New York’s seven million people and conducted through the city by a special escort. In the City Hall the Professor was accorded a hearty welcome by the Mayor who dwelt at length on the great achievement of Roerich in the fields of art and culture. A very successful reception was also given him at the Master Building. In honouring Professor Roerich American people appreciated the grand efforts of the philosopher-artist whose wonderful paintings breathe new life and joy. It would be interesting for our readers to know that the painter of the «Buddha the Conqueror» is also recommended for the Noble prize for peace by the International Committee. We heartily congratulate Professor Roerich for the grand success he has so far achieved in creating a real interest in international peace and good will.
