...attempt to mediate? We shall not. The expectation of the Japanese people and of the world for a Japanese role in this matter is so high as not to permit renunciation. We are reaching the conclusion that the best way is, though it is slow and indirect, to build up politically and economically as a true power. We are certanily tired of being a "mock-up" of a major power...
...administer areas where they had been born or areas where they had studied as students or worked as revolutionists in the famous guerrilla bases. The top elite was obviously confident (correctly it seems) that the internal organization of the CCP was sufficiently strong to overcome the tendency to build regional "empires" (i.e., warlordism). For the most part the CCP made good use of former Chinese Nationalist generals who surrendered to Communist armies.

Bled by such acquisitions as the unprofitable New York Shipbuilding Corp., the firm's profits and dividends have been dropping; in 1966, there was a loss of $740,000 and no dividend at all. To halt the drain, Wolfson sold off a paint company, a small steel mill, the company's derrick division and a small shipyard, but the future seems so stormy that liquidation...
