Some time in the twenties, Nicholas Constantin Roerich appeared as a highly self advertised great philosopher with a collection of admirers and disciples who addressed him as their "Guru."  Roerich dispensed a philosophy of [[occult]] teachings that certain superior beings are commissioned to guide the affairs of humanity.  He founded the Roerich Museum at Niagara, India and was the founder of the Roerich Pact and Banner of Peace, signed by 22 countries in 1935.  This ceremony took place in the [[White House]].  Wallace arranged for the presentation and was named the American plenipotentiary to sign the pact.  At the ceremony Wallace said: "I am deeply grateful to have been named by [[Franklin Roosevelt|President Roosevelt]] to sign for the United States this important document in which I have been interested for many years and which I regard as an inevitable step in international relations.  The Roerich Pact which forms this treaty provides that all museums, cathedrals, universities and libraries be registered by the nations and marked by a banner - known as the Banner of Peace - which designates them as neutral territory respected by all signatory nations."  And on this occasion Wallace described Roerich as "a great versatile genius" and "one of the greatest figures and true leaders of contemporary culture."

A wealthy broker named Louis L. Horch raised money, putting up much of it himself, to erect a building in New York City, called the Roerich Museum.  [[Pulitzer Prize]] journalist Westbrook Pegler brought much of this material to light.  Roerich was a prolific painter and the first floor of the museum was used for the exhibition of his canvases.  The remaining stories of the building served as apartments and offices for the elect.  Roerich's pictures were believed to possess a peculiar power over the minds of those who sat quietly before them and contemplated them.  Many disciples visited the building and did so, in search of "world awareness."
