There would be duck dinners in Nanking and picnics among the pines above Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum. Shanghai's famed Bund would start a new life. Centers of industry and trade-some of them, like Shanghai's sprawling textile factories, relatively undamaged by war-would soon be at work.

Florid, convivial Edward James Smythe, onetime speaker at Bund and Ku Klux Klan rallies, held up proceedings for two days while FBI agents were sent to fetch him, spluttering indignantly, from a fishing trip near the Canadian border. There were also George Deatherage, founder of the Knights of the White Camellia; Howard Victor Broenstrupp, alias the Duke of St. Saba, alias Count Cherep-Spiridovich, etc. Nine of the defendants were already interned or in jail.
