It seemed not unlikely that "Dictator" Chang was sounding last week the first brave notes of his swan dirge. At any rate, the Occidental diplomats at Peking did not honor his "inauguration" by their presence, seemed totally unimpressed. The wire was strung, the bags piled up (TIME, April 11) to barricade the Occidental quarter at Shanghai against possible Chinese violence after that city...
